Accomplishments
- Conducted a 6 week Bible study on the book of Ephesians for a group of young men in my life. The group focused on Sexual integrity and Biblical masculinity as we asked ourselves but one question: what does being a man in the eyes of God mean? This experience gave me the confidence to effectively lead those around me with grace and respect.
- As referenced by the certificate of Leadership Training, I completed the Leadership Training summer program in Rocky Mountain National Park in which I learned foundational skills in Biblical leadership as well as practical methods for directing and ministering to those in my care. My time with this program has given me the practical administration skills to lead and work with others in diverse and complicated circumstances.
