I am a 22-year-old studying English at a secular college in the Mid-West. I am a Presbyterian, Postmillennial-Preterist, Six-day creationist, historic Protestant, unashamed fan of N.T. Wright, Federal Visionary, Van Tillian, ecumenical, paedocommunionist, typology and symbolism lovin’, story-reverin’ Christian.
At college, I attend InterVarsity Christian Fellowship where I have served on the leadership team for a year, and taught a Bible study, and I am soon to teach a book study on “Finding God in Harry Potter.” I also serve as the Vice President for the local chapter for the International Justice Mission, a Christian group committed to combating the evils of forced slavery, child labor, forced prostitution, underaged prostitution, and various other forms of social abuse around the world.
I am also a big fan of kittens.
I write fiction and this blog for fun while not being successful at it producing any money at all. Morale remains, counter-intuitively, rather high.
FAQs
Q: Who are you?
A: My name is Adam and I live in Ohio. No further information will be provided, as you might get my information, hunt me down and take me to an undisclosed RPCUS church basement.
Q: Why should we care what you have to say?
A: You probably shouldn’t.
Q: What are your beliefs?
A: Heretical, apparently.
Q: Hahaha. But seriously.
A: I am a Presbyterian. I subscribe to the great creeds of the Church, which Christ’s Church has helpfully gathered into one place for us. I affirm the five points of Calvinism, covenant theology, and the five Solas. I affirm specifically the Westminster Confession of Faith. Since 2005 I have been in general agreement with N. T. Wright and a movement now known collectively as the Federal Vision. Rather than lead me astray from the creeds of the Church and the WCF, Federal Vision theology has actually strengthened my love of and practical living out of both the Scriptures and the confessions of the church.
Q: How do you feel about Jesus?
A: He’s my homeboy.
Q: That’s profoundly irreverent.
A: I agree. But I have it on “hip” evangelical authority (what better kind is there?) that I am, in fact, Jesus’ homeboy. I’m in his crew. We roll. One day I will go to chill in dat brutha’s crib in hiz fatha’s hood. And dat’s the 411.
Q: You’re white, aren’t you?
A: Very much.
Q: What, in your opinion, is wrong with the world?
A: Me, of course. 
Q: What is your philosophy of life?
A: A life without a sense of humor is like a short-necked giraffe. Seriously weird to look at, a stupid idea, and it will probably starve to death.
Q: What music do you like?
A: My tastes are rather broad in general. The only types of music I cannot stand are rap/hip hop/R&B and country. More positively, I listen to a number of genres of music. My favorite genre of music is film score, but I also listen to broadly Christian Contemporary music, and of secular ilk, I listen to punk, rock-pop, and so on.
Q: Specifically what bands do you listen to?
A: In film music, I listen to the scores of John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Danny Elfman, and others. In the Contemporary Christian music world, I like Swtichfoot, Casting Crowns, Falling Up, Robin Mark, Jars of Clay, Relient K, Hawk Nelson, Kutless, Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp. Of the secular camp, I enjoy Green Day, Blink-182, AFI, All-American Rejects, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Yellowcard, Bowling for Soup, No Use For A Name, Senses Fail, Evanescence, Nightwish, Hoobastank, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Tenacious D, AC/DC, U2, Bono, The Who, some Creed and Korn.

Q: What happens if I subscribe to the blog?
A: I get your firstborn child.
