Between now and Commencement, we will be sharing a series of profiles of graduating students. We begin today with Benjamin Geeding '23 M.Div.!
-----
By the time he was five, Benjamin Geeding was questioning the teachings of his family’s Nazarene church. “Did God know that Adam and Eve would sin? Is free will an illusion? Is there any point to life? They didn’t provide a lot of answers.” 🧵
