Vision for your position: To see communication of the gospel and the passions of Sojourn expressed through the means of audio and video.
What brought you to Sojourn?: At first… loud music, I was young and thought it was the coolest praise and worship I’d ever heard. Then as I continued to attend a few more weeks, I started to see community people had with one another like I’d never seen. It seemed genuine and centered on God, and you could tell. So I was drawn in a little more. Then I continued to hear the gospel preached like I’ve never heard it before. So clear, straightforward, and in a way that I could see how it plays a everyday role in my life, in everything I do. I felt like I learned more in my first few years at Sojourn than my 12 years at a Christian school. I was given a new appreciation for gospel.
Favorite movie/ TV show: I love movies, so it’s hard for me to pin down one as a favorite. I like old films, new films, fantasy films, foreign films, zombie films, just about anything. Favorite TV shows, Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and Firefly
