Hello,
I’m Blake
I am a Christian who loves to write about the connection between theology and life. I am married to my wife, Shale, who is a special education teacher. We have been married for five years now. We have two little girls, Jovi and Piper, and they are wonderful. We also have a dog, Dundie–yes, for you people who love The Office, he is named after The Dundie Awards–who is crazy, hairy, but very sweet and rowdy.
I received my BS in Mass Communications from East Central University and did my MTS in Preaching and Pastoral Ministry at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
I am currently working for a philanthropic nonprofit organization, although it is an aspiration of mine to eventually be in ministry, Lord willing.
My wife and I are covenant members of Sovereign Grace Bible Church and have been for eight years now. We are richly blessed by our church.
