Seven Facts about Us

Fellow blogger Stuart Delony has passed on a challenge for us to share seven random facts about ourselves. Jacob and I work to keep this blog lazer-focused on youth ministry, but we thought it might be helpful for you to know a little bit about the two of us who author this site. Unfortuneately, what you might learn about us from the 7 random facts below probably won't be of much use to you, but we offer them for your entertainment anyway!
