David loves to travel to Biblical places. He earned his Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago, Illinois, studying both Greek and Hebrew languages.  He has traveled to sites in Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Greece, and Turkey, gaining an understanding of places that bring scripture to life.  His travels and studies have led to two books exploring the Greco-Roman context of Paul’s letters to Ephesus (A Journey Through Ephesus) and Colossae (A Journey Through Colossae).

J.R. is an engineer, amateur woodworker and loves to know how things work. When traveling he is as interested in billboards and infrastructure as he is in the food and culture. He has travelled to ancient sites in Israel, Greece, Turkey and Egypt and loves to integrate his experiences in his teaching of college students at church. He has lived a full life with his wife and 2 grown children, but is always looking forward to the next adventure.
