In my labyrinth of books.
What are you passionate about?

How do you Live Engaged?
I Live Engaged by knowing, growing, and showing. What we know cognitively often shapes what we love, and these two things in tandem can change how we act in the world. In other words, in all areas of life I strive to: gain knowledge and understanding (know); adapt, develop, and mature (grow); serve others, build relationships, and lead by example (show). This means many things, but most significantly it means thoughtfully listening to those I disagree with. It means attending to, and caring for, the whole person. It means going above and beyond to love those that I might significantly differ from. Simply put, I Live Engaged by building genuine and tangible relationships with all those I come into contact with.
How/where do you volunteer?
I volunteer at my church. This has looked different over the years, but I have served as a youth leader, camp counselor, maintenance volunteer, and for brief time I worked as a youth pastor. Each opportunity allowed me to serve and make a difference in the life of another person.
