32 years old, happily married, white/caucasion new dad(1/2 Irish, 1/4 German, 1/4 British blood - but my nieces are both 1/2 african-american, so I've proudly got connections there too), originally from Georgetown, Ohio (see Brian Grant, Ulysses S. Grant, et etc.). I was born into a non-Christian family, and had declared myself an Atheist around the age of 7, but God got His grip on me around 1991. I've been playing music in bands since I was 15, am a former campus minister, and have a library to be jealous of, indeed. My heros, living and dead, are: Jonathan Edwards, George Whitfield, J.I. Packer, & John Piper (other than Jesus, of course). I'm a full-blown, thoroughly convinced Reformed Charismatic (Pentacostal Calvinists /Empowered Evangelcial) Christian, with a great interest in the reformed understanding and application of Radical Orthodoxy. I'm also very self-critical - I'm not afraid to change my mind.
Music (writing, recording, producing, singing, guitar, bass, &; piano), books (writing &; reading), nature, preaching, teaching & my wife & son.
