It didn’t start with money. Really, it didn’t start with much at all. Just a few young people with regular jobs, cell phones, and a heart for the people. At 25 years old I sat in a work truck as I waited on my heaters to do their job. I’d just graduated with an English degree, checked into some dismal options in my area, and finally resigned myself to working for a pest control company to stave off my growing pile of bills. It was a weird job choice. Every morning I was tasked with driving to some remote city in South Carolina, setting up a bunch of heaters used to eliminate bed bugs, and then, really, just a lot of waiting around while someone’s house got hot enough to take care of the problem. I think that’s what made me take this job- the hours in-between setup and take-down where I could do some freelance writing and social media management. It was from that work truck that I first sent out a mass email to every influential pastor and Adventist leader I could think of with an idea- what about a “Humans of Adventism” page? Fast forward to October, 2018. I am still sitting in the same truck, working the same job, but you wouldn’t know that from taking a look online. Humans of Adventism exploded on us. In just over a year, we had amassed over 4,000 followers on Facebook. People all over the country were popping up wearing shirts we designed. Influential pastors were posting pictures in them on Instagram, and I stood before the Society of Adventist Communicators at the NAD teaching

people how to use storytelling in their online ministries. I’ve been turning down offers to speak at events because there’s just no way I can take the vacation time. And God worked all that out using only a cell phone. There have been plenty of obstacles along the way. You could even say we exist because of some of them. Specifically, I believe that there are a few ways in which communication has broken down in the Adventist church. We have a hard time with productive conversations and relationships with people who practice Adventism differently than we do. Even further, there’s a major disconnect between most Adventist churches I’ve attended and people who aren’t Adventist. That’s what I want to help change. Humans of Adventism is a collection of stories from people who share my faith, and in a way it’s also one big story about the Adventist movement. It’s one thing to read our opinions online or to argue about them over lunch, but it’s quite another to hear people’s personal experiences. Those experiences, those stories, mean something to other people, because they show our humanity. It’s something we all have in common. My story matters because I’m the only person able to truly tell it. Your story, too. Collectively, our stories form this wide umbrella of faith that we call Adventism. Don’t be afraid to share your part of that, because this is how we can all change the world: one story at a time.

places we’ve been Spider-man has always been my favorite superhero. A huge movie called “Spider-man: Far From Home.” I decided to create this fan art for the movie and I receive lots of positive feedback online. I was able to meet the actor who plays Spiderman, Tom Holland, and give him my art. It was a huge moment for me to be able to give my art to someone I admire and him be very kind and praise it.
