​ On the "adulting" side of things, I'm an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) with seminary training at Lexington Theological Seminary and a doctorate from Claremont School of Theology. I've authored children's books, written articles and curricula, and brought my passion for biblical education to various age groups. There's more to my story, but let's keep it short – I'm impressed if you've made it this far!
