Passionate about Jesus Christ and the way he radically transforms lives.
Love people. Justice for the weak.
Fan of traveling, live music, and dessert.

Telling young people to read the Bible cover-to-cover by themselves is bad spiritual formation.

Students dive-in looking for an exciting and spiritually enlightening experience. When they don't experience that, they blame themselves (or, preferably, their faith tradition).

Did anyone else see Andrew do this? This man has my whole heart. #bachelorinparadiseabc

Two years into the pandemic, and I finally got the Rona. My brother found out and immediately texted me his HBOmax account info. That's love, baby.

Why does meeting up with my high school friends in a bar on December 23rd in the small Minnesotan town I grew up in feel like the start to a very bad Hallmark Christmas movie?

Easter morning church service in Minnesota.
Pastor: He is risen.
Traditional response: He is risen indeed.
Man in front of me: He is risen you betcha.

Teaching middle school is fun because one minute you're explaining the meaning of a vocab word and the next minute you're singing a duet with a student to "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce.

When googling questions does anyone else not allow themselves to look at the recommendations that pop up/what others are googling for fear that they have more things to worry about than they currently are? Or am I the only one with anxiety?

You know the date is going well when you ask him a question, and he replies, "You know, I'm really more of a listener than a talker."

Never ever again try to tell me that only policy, not character matters in our political leaders. Ever.

“We feel your pain. We love you. You’re special.” Did the president finally say this to those who are grieving their dead due to his mishandling of a pandemic? No. This is what the president says to armed white supremacist insurgents who just took over the US capital.

I’m no political genius, but if today doesn’t constitute an insurrection, what would an insurrection look like?

This season of the Bachelorette taking time to address mental health, racial inequality, drug addictions, and other stuff that actually matters. 💯 Thank you. #bachelorette
