It helps that his mom and in-laws live in central Tennessee. He went to Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee and got his Bachelor of Arts degree in biblical and theological studies. He double majored in Spanish, but he'll be the first to tell you his Spanish has improved most by listening to Spanish podcasts. He liked school a little too much and so began his Master of Divinity program at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri the fall immediately after graduating from Lee. After dating for a little over two years, Adam realized he had better hurry up and propose to his girlfriend, Kate, before she realized she was too good for him. They were married halfway through Adam's M.Div. program. After graduation, Adam and Kate moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, where Adam eventually began serving as lead pastor of a small nondenominational church. Three years into that experience Adam had the crazy idea to go to law school to equip himself even further to help people. He continued as lead pastor of a small church through his first year of law school then moved on from that to focus solely on law school-only to welcome the new challenge of navigating law school with newborn twin boys.Despite delayed finals his second year and many sleep deprived nights throughout his final year, Adam managed to graduate with his JD from the University of North Carolina School of Law in May of 2020. He took an in-person bar exam in July during COVID-19, a really scary experience, but he managed to pass and now has his own law practice in Tennessee. He also currently volunteers at Family Worship Center in Tennessee. You can find more of his reflections on the Christian life at adamjrodrigues.wordpress.com.view less
