New Wine, New Wineskins

Kelsi Johns

I am studying to get my Masters in Pastoral Studies, focusing on intercultural ministry. After attending Portland State for 2 1/2 clueless years, I moved to Eugene and received a BA in Journalism from the University of Oregon. My passions are writing, exploring the intricacies of life and laughing at the absurdities, discovering beauty in the mundane, and addressing oppressive systems. I desire to marry my passion for writing with my interest in examining social and cultural issues. As a New Wine intern, I blog for Dr. Metzger’s book Consuming Jesus: Beyond Race and Class Divisions in a Consumer Church (www.consumingjesus.org). A run through Forest Park, a walk in Laurelhurst Park, a hike at Wahkeenah Falls, and a bike ride to Ladd’s Circle in the summer while the sun is setting are four of my favorite things and four good reasons why Portland is the one of the best cities on earth.
