I have always had a passion for ministry. That passion affected the way I approached my education, and heavily influenced my jobs after school. In my various church experiences, there was always a hunger to take the next step, both to learn and to teach.
It comes naturally to me to chew endlessly on the hard questions, to seek to be utterly convinced of God's existence and His goodness, to meditate on passages that are well known and easy to decipher as well as puzzle patiently over the passages that are tempting to shy away from.
I have a deep conviction to bring to light the goodness and faithfulness of God to people who have a hard time seeing that He is for them and not against them. I feel the call to leadership and have been trying to understand what it means to press into that calling for as long as I can remember.
