Jake
I am a youth ministry scholar and camp enthusiast with a strong interest in bringing deeper theological reflection and scholarly analysis to bear on outdoor ministry. I have a Ph.D. in practical theology from Luther Seminary. I have ministry experience in congregations and camps. My wonderful family (wife and two young sons) are incredibly supportive of my work and keep me grounded.
