In the ancient Hebraic, the name “Noah” means “peace” or “to lead to rest.” In the story of Genesis, Noah was a man who had faith in the Lord’s direct commands to him. He labored meticulously to create an avenue by which God’s people and all of creation would be led to peace and rest on the other side of earth’s most traumatic moment, the flood.
Although the minute particulars of my life don’t resemble that of an antediluvian Old Testament character’s, and though the scale of my vocational calling isn’t as climactic as building a 300x50x30-cubit Ark to save all living creatures, I still feel a deep kinship with the Biblical Noah. He embodied his/our name’s calling. Through service and creative expression in the contexts God positions me, I’m also heeding the call to make peace. It’s my great honor to “lead to rest” weary sheep in need of a Good Shepherd.
Names aren’t some happenstance decision made by a parent. God chose you, created you, and gave you a name to call you unto Him! (Is. 43:1, Jn. 10:3, Ps. 139:13-16)
I’m a philosophy student who spent the last couple of years strengthening my entrepreneurial muscle on media projects for startups, wellness businesses, and nonprofits.
While applying for seminary and in-between jobs, I was re-directed via my church to lead a nonprofit discipleship ministry on a farm.
This domain hosted my photography portfolio years ago, and then I attempted to turn it into space for academic endeavors. Now it just sort of... is. I’m always open to ideas, connecting. Feel free to contact me.
