About Me

There are four of us from ECU (Mackenzie, Sara, Kristin, and me), alongside 60+ other students from around the country. We are in Chicago for ministry purposes in our own personal lives, as well as receiving the benefit of growing more like Christ by seeking His Kingdom and faithfully responding to His Gospel through ministry and doing all things to His glory.

Christ-centered

Its so different being a person who follows Jesus, but not having roles to get in the way of defining who I am. Here on Summer Project my societal roles do not conflict one another. I am a student, employee, friend, son, brother, boyfriend, and such, but God has used summer project to reveal the purpose of these roles. That they are to fall short of my role as Christ-follower.

I am on summer, so of course , I don't have to worry about school much. Although I am pretty excited to start at Southeastern. I have a job, but its about 10 hours a week, honestly just enough (and a whole other blog's worth of praising God). I have established friendships here, but they only point me to Christ. My family and I are in good standing, so I believe. Rachel has only pointed me to Christ since we started pursuing a relationship. I don't have to worry about those things when Christ is the center of my life and where I find my identity.


Summer Project is an amazing experience where Christ reveals where he stands in a student's life. In such a monumental time in a person's life, college provides many roles which make it difficult to see a life Christ-centered. I think Summer Project is a great experience in such a time of life to reveal whether or not your life truly is.

Ideally , my week consists of:
Monday through Friday - Going out to campus until 4pm.
Saturday - Catch up on such things as this
Sunday - Church and meetings

Work is in between it all.

We do ministry here,, full-time. God has certainly confirmed that seminary is where I want to be to become more and more equipped to do this in the long run of life.

Tonight, Chris Burke and I are bringing two others to a Jimmy Johns's bowling party. It'll be interesting, but fun I'm sure. I am becoming more comfortable with the employees there now. Tonight should be a great opportunity to establish some friendships and hopefully some necessary vulnerability among others.
