- How do you describe being an emergent baptist?
- I am committed to the Baptist distinctives but sometimes feel I am a Baptist pastor because it is a comfortable option but I study post grad at an AOG seminary and read across the theological spectrum so I guess I want to take the best of what I feel God is exposing me to in order to create a 21st century church community,
- What do you love to do?
- I love to study theology. I love to watch Aston Villa play but I will watch any football that's going.
- What books have meant the most to you?
- A lot of Moltmann and Pinnock. They have stretched and challenged me such a lot. I really appreciate Amos Yong as well.
- What music best articulates your soul?
- Ambient and Heavy. I like the extremes.
- Who are the historical baptist personalities you identify with most?
- Spurgeon.
- Who are the theologians, philosophers, teachers, etc. that you live in dialog with?
- Moltmann, Pinnock, Yong and Kierkegaard.
