My favorite quote(s)...

Faith is the fact of being laid hold of and constrained by the power of the gospel, and thereby borne into the new age of life in Christ. Anders Nygren

If I could live anywhere... (why?)

In a mission-style bungalow anywhere between Mount Rainier and Puget Sound. God's out here.

Others describe me as...

Fun, hilarious, driven, intense.

I most feel the presence of God when...

I sing hymns and songs with fellow believers. ... or on nearly any trail on Mount Rainier.

I'm passionate about...

turning the hearts of my church community toward those who aren't with us yet.

In the future, I will be...

a pastor who spends more hours outside the walls of the church, talking with non-church members about God.

A person/people who has/have helped me grow in my faith...

Bob Bertram taught me at seminary. He was a wise rabbi and a Christ-follower all in one package, and taught me that life in Christ is dynamic and exciting and surprising and especially grace-filled.

Because of my faith, I...

am looking for new ways to reach out to young adults who are struggling to find an authentic faith experience in the church.
