I was born in Pennsylvania to a Christian family. Some time in middle school, I started to question the religious things I had been taught. That set me on a journey (which continues to this day) of interest in the academic questions that come with religious belief. In studying these things, it's impressive to see the vast array of intellects who have engaged with these questions and humbling to consider the limitations of our human intellectual endeavors. I continue to seek the Lord through researching these questions, and I am thankful for how they have sharpened and strengthened my faith in Jesus over the years.
