“There’s a hundred or more people in the room, and he gives a word to the guy in the bathroom.”   Caleb won the award this year called “What Can’t You Do?” But little did he know when he came to college, he would soon find out that there ARE, in fact, things that he can’t do.

He shares some funny stories, like singing “If I Had $1,000,000” with the boys, running down the street with no lights, and learning to better lead worship from drums.

“More and more I’m seeing [homework] as a learning tool, so I’m going to dig into some cool resources and figure it out.”   Jon’s journey here has been an interesting one: he started in second semester, then completed a year of Martyr’s Life, and doing first semester Biblical Studies for the first time, put him in a few Freshman classes.
