There are lots of new faces around here!
First, meet our new writers — Patricia Bruininks and Lucas Thayer.
Bruininks teaches courses such on Psychology of Poverty & Social Class and Love, Altruism, & Forgiveness at Whitworth University and regularly studies and conducts research on the emotion of hope.
Thayer recently graduated from Whitworth with a degree in journalism and mass communication. He considers himself agnostic, although he says he raised in a Christian household.
