Philip Jenkins spent half of his childhood growing up in Hamilton, Alabama and the other half in Nashville, Tennessee, where he also met his better half (Laura) in the 8th grade. He attended Freed-Hardeman University and got his degree in Bible in 2006. He and Laura are currently expecting their first child due in July and plan to name him Lucas. Some of Philip's favorite things are church camp, Ultimate Frisbee, and laughing. Philip says, "I feel that I've grown so much spiritually since I began coming to Mt. Juliet church of Christ. The church has been a wonderful fit, and God's answer to our prayers."
