Early life and education
Partridge grew up in Southern California, where he attended  high school and started several businesses in his late teens, including a personal training and massage therapy business. In 2018, Partridge enrolled at Western Theological Seminary in Portland, Oregon, where he earned a graduate certificate in Theology.

Career
In his early days, Partridge pursued a baseball career which ended early due to an arm injury. He then switched to entrepreneurship, and eventually founded Thresh Hold Rock Climbing Gym in Riverside, California, in 2005. In 2011, Partridge founded the e-commerce websites Sevenly.org and in 2018, StartupCamp.com.

At Sevenly, he experimented with social/charitable cause-based business ecosystems by using art and fashion to raise funds and awareness for a new charity every week. In 2012, the business model of Sevenly was featured by Entrepreneur magazine.

Partridge has been featured in various business and editorial publications, including the cover of Entrepreneur and Inc magazines, Mashable.com, Forbes, the Los Angeles Times, and People magazine. He has also appeared on FOX News, and Today.

Prior to entering into the ministry, Partridge was a business author. He wrote People over Profit published by Thomas Nelson, which became Wall Street Journal bestseller. The premise of this book was presented in his TEDx talk given in 2015. Also published by Thomas Nelson were Partridge’s Launch Your Dream and Saved from Success

He left the business industry in 2017 to pursue a career in ministry.

Ministry
Partridge leads a digital ministry, Relearn.org. that is focused on biblical and theological literacy in the church. In addition, Partridge hosts a weekly podcast, Real Christianity.

In 2015, on the TV show Good Morning America, Partridge revealed that his views on women's leggings influenced his wife to discard it from her wardrobe.

In 2019, he argued against electing people with mental illnesses to church leadership positions  after his friend and fellow pastor committed suicide.

In January 2020, Christianity Today published an article about Partridge's past struggle with plagiarism. Partridge has admitted that he has inadvertently used other people's work without attribution in the past and would put an end to this practice.

Partridge  has also been a voice against the transgender movement’s influence on children. In 2022, as an alternative to Drag Queen Story Hour, Partridge hosted “Pastor Story Hour” in his Arizona hometown. That same year, he released a children’s book, Jesus and My Gender where Partridge affirms the biblical model for gender. He has also been outspoken about traditional male and female roles in the church, as well as a proponent for headcoverings for women during worship.

In 2023, he became senior pastor at King’s Way Church in Prescott, Arizona, which holds to the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Personal life
In 2015, a lawsuit was filed in Deschutes County Circuit Court against Partridge and his wife by their neighbor, a local psychic, demanding $150,000 in damages. The legal action, perceived as excessive and overreaching, stemmed from the removal of six juniper trees on what was believed to be the neighbor's property. In the absence of clear boundary markers and fencing, the Partridges, while clearing nearly a hundred trees on their land, inadvertently encroached on their neighbor's property. Later in 2016, the lawsuit was settled out of court.
