About Me

I'm a senior at Princeton Theological Seminary, working towards my masters of Divinity, likely pursuing ordination in the PC(USA), though I still have dreams of returning to Kenya. I desire to live simply. . .and yet I so enjoy my creature comforts.

You scored as Neo orthodox. You are neo-orthodox. You reject the human-centredness and scepticism of liberal theology, but neither do you go to the other extreme and make the Bible the central issue for faith. You believe that Christ is God's most important revelation to humanity, and the Trinity is hugely important in your theology. The Bible is also important because it points us to the revelation of Christ. You are influenced by Karl Barth and P T Forsyth.

My Interests


A good glass of red wine, preferably either a cab, syrah, or pinot noir.

I love a good cup of french pressed coffee, preferably Kenyan, in the afternoon - I love the way a french press preserves the natural coffee oils; I'm always up for a good movie or any trip to either water or mountains.I also love travel and still greatly miss Kenya.Oh, and I'm an avid player of both Mariokart and Settlers of Catan.

You Are a Traveler Soul
You're a thrill seeker who loves to be active and on the move
You love to wander: between places, ideas, and people.
A good communicator, you're a nonconformist and interested in the world.
You are an explorer, a good storyteller, and a true dreamer.

Because you're always on the move, you can be a bit fickle.
It's difficult for you to make personal commitments.
Don't be so quick to ignore emotional issues and problems.
You're much more intuitive and psychic than you think.

What Kind of Soul Are You?

I'd like to meet:

I tend to like witty, funny people - unique in their own way. Intelligence is a huge plus.

Along the famous route, assuming time and space were no limitation (meaning the fact that they're dead isn't a constraint), Jesus, Paul, Martin Luther (I'd say John Calvin since I'm Presbyterian, but apparently he was kind of a jerk), John Wimber (the founder of the Vineyard), Jomo Kenyatta (first president of Kenya), Desmund Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Chris Farley!, etc etc etc You know the Bible 100%! Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses - you know it all! You are fantastic!
