About Jared Begg
I am passionate about helping people grow deeper with God and live well-ordered lives of Christian Maturity. Currently I am honored to be able to fulfill that calling as a Resident Director with my staff and approximately 100 residents in the hall I live in. I am in my fourth year as an RD at Indiana Wesleyan University. I earned my MA in Spiritual Formation from Biola (Talbot School of theology). My wife, Candice, and I recently completed the adoption of our first son, Isaiah. We brought him home from India on December 4th 2010. God has been using him greatly as a catalyst in my spiritual growth and transformation.
