Selah art

Since November 2025, I have been thinking deeply about what it means to belong. We belong to families, churches, nations, and communities.

What a beautiful and challenging journey! I met so many wonderful people during my time at Duke Divinity, some of whom I had the privilege of taking pictures with 🙂 There’s Max Miller. We sat next to each other through Old Testament classes under Dr. Strawn. Dr. Strawn is one of the top five professors who inspired me and spurred my imagination. I cannot talk about inspiration without mentioning…
