History is the critical study of life as it
once was -- not the memorization of
names and dates. Just as God is
actively involved in every event of
today, so too He played an integral role
in all the events of the past -- the good
and the bad. The study of history is as
relevant today as it has always
been. Studying history at CCC teaches
you how to think, reason, and write
from a biblical perspective, and those
are incredibly valuable skills for
Christians today.
Interests: reading, music, cooking, traveling, hiking, and kayaking
