I am a member of the devotional team here at South, and also enjoy co-leading The Faith Film Collective with the fabulous Rod Taylor. I am a professional dog trainer, enjoy Irish music, amateur writing, and I will never, ever get tired of snoodling wiggly puppies. I’m so honored to spend this time with you as we grow closer to the Lord!

I was 12 years old when The Omen came out in theaters. I was too young to watch it in theaters, but I had heard rumblings about the antichrist before. The older kids who really...
