About Zach
Zach Rippey was pursuing a career in stand-up comedy when God led him to become a voice for Jesus instead. After going through the motions of Christianity for five years, Zach decided to read one of the Gospels during the chaos of 2020. The book of John changed everything and Zach was on fire for the Lord! After reading only a few books in the Bible, Zach felt led to start a podcast about Jesus. With doubts, low expectations, and fear of mockery from his peers, Zach decided to lean in and launch “I Like Birds” in May 2020. He's now an author, speaker, writer and podcast coach.
