I started off at Westmont, a beautiful Christian college nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, California.
As glorious and fulfilling as all that appeared, two years into college, the world became much larger to me. More complex, diverse, intellectually and spiritually challenging.
I started to read a lot. I wanted to mesh with a myriad of thinkers, and religious scholars. I needed to make a change.
I left Westmont after my sophomore year and transferred to USC's School of Journalism. I discovered I had too many questions about faith to pursue a life of ministry, but I felt good about this transition. To me, it made perfect sense, because like ministers, true journalists love people, listen well and want to make a difference within this universe.
The key difference is, in journalism, if we gather the "facts," we can usually find the answers to what we're looking for. When it comes to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, those answers rest in faith.
