Who the heck is Joshua Villines, anway?

Thanks for stopping by. I've never felt the need to be wedded to one occupation, so you will find references here to my work as an Army Interrogator (Airborne), a private investigator, a police academy instructor, a game journalist and commentator, a pastor, a social justice advocate, a professor, and as a Ph.D. candidate. Somehow, it has always made sense to me connect all of these different jobs, but I certainly understand if it seems like I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I do, in fact, know what I want to be...someone who is hard to label by their profession!

When I am a guest somewhere, my official bio reads like this:

The Rev. C. Joshua Villines teaches as an adjunct for Mercer University and Shorter College, and a Ph.D. Candidate at Vanderbilt University. Prior to moving to academia he served several churches in the Metro Atlanta area. He is the past Coordinator of Progressive Clergy of Georgia and an active spokesperson for several social justice organizations. The Rev. Villines resides in Atlanta with his wife Dr. Brigit R. Villines, and their son John Francis.

If you're really curious, you can read my results from various personality tests here.
