What brought you to Sojourn?

Jeremy and Carrie Quillo invited us when Sojourn was first starting. We came to the first public service and pretty much ever since. The powerful preaching, passionate music, and intentional development of community were unlike anything we’d experienced before.

Favorite movie/ TV show:

My favorite movie is Karate Kid 4. Just kidding, it’s Karate Kid 3. No wait… it’s Red Dawn. Truthfully, my favorite movie is Braveheart or any of the Lord of the Rings movies. My wife and I watch Lost, Heroes, and Arrested Development.

Favorite music/ band:

Recently, I’ve been listening to The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, and The Weakerthans. I’d have to say my favorite artist is Ben Folds.

Favorite book other than the Bible:

Don’t tell anyone, but I really like to read sci-fi novels and fantasy novels. I enjoy books that create a complex universe with detailed history, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. My favorites are Robert Jordan’s series The Wheel of Time, Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game series, and Frank Herbert’s Dune series.

Hobbies/interests:

I love playing soccer – indoor or outdoor – but it’s been hard to find time recently. I love to work on my house when I have time (which is never) and I’m a part-time web developer. I read a lot of blogs, too. Probably yours.
