What's the Storey?
So a little about the founder of LB#11. Kevin Storey was born and raised in a small town in Mid-Michigan. Kevin came to know Jesus during a service at his local church hosted by college students (including his brother) from Anderson University. He was baptized shortly after that. He has degrees from Central Michigan University (B.S.), University of Detroit Mercy (J.D.) and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.A. CT). Kevin has worked as a contract negotiator, an attorney and has served as volunteer pastor after his ordination in April of 2016. Rumor has it that he also knows a thing or two about running a laminator machine.
Beginning of the Return
After allowing himself to be lured away as a teen, in college he met a woman who was pivotal in his growth as a follower of Jesus. This woman repeatedly challenged him with a simple question (more on that later) that began the process of re-opening his eyes. It was this encounter that changed the tide of his life and put Kevin on the path that led here.
Challenged in his garage.
After serving in various roles in a few churches (Deacon, Elder, Teacher, Small Group Leader) Kevin was working out in his garage listening to Christian talk radio. Chip Ingram's daily message was on. During this particular talk Chip asked if you were content with living an average Christian life or did you want to live an extraordinary Christian life? At this point Kevin felt a prompting, a challenge if you will. He felt that he was being accused of coasting, not giving Jesus everything he had. Shortly after that Gordon-Conwell opened a campus in his town, wouldn't it be crazy to go to seminary at this point in his life? His wife lent her support, though silently wondering if Kevin had lost what was left of his mind.
Just how exactly did he become "Laminator Man" anyway? And what is the point of this website?
So that's a funny story, one that will no doubt be shared on this page one day. This site is first and foremost dedicated to the hardworking professionals at Reddick Elementary who I have the privilege of spending time with and supporting in any way I can.
This site exists to answer questions that anyone may have about the existence of a First Cause and more specifically what life looks like as a follower of Jesus. The perspective is non-denominational but is distinctly Christian. And while this site exists to put forth a Christian Apologetic it certainly Not Sorry. That said, the goal is to treat all questioners with gentleness and respect, answers are provided but debate is not the point of LB#11 reasoned, respectful discussion is. Any decisions are yours to make.
