Jessicah Duckworth

wife, mother of three, and seminary prof.

I am loving my 30s as a wife and mother of three. I'm glad to have completed my PhD in March 2009 and now I teach Congregational and Community Care at Luther Seminary.

I have known my loving husband since 2001 -- we've been married since 2002. He is passionate, creative, full of energy and an extraordinary conversation partner. We have been friends from the very beginning only ever legitimately arguing over the historic episcopate, contemporary worship and, of course, the designated hitter. Together we are parents of three beautiful children - two girls and a boy.

I am passionate about adult faith formation, the church, discipleship in the world, evangelism and the catechumenate.

I also love baseball, the city, camping, playing cello in orchestras, singing, watching Law & Order reruns and West Wing on DVD and eating ice cream and pop corn.
