“Is like the Godfather of theology. You don’t find out about him, he reveals himself to you.”–Jason Vaughn
Jason Vaughn
Jason has 4 GREAT loves: The Lord, his wife, his boys, and his church family. He claims coffee, shooting guns, reading, and fellowship fan those flames. (You pick which one fans what love–it’s like a game). He’s ready and willing to joke about everything but two things: the Gospel and coffee. You might say it’s the “fifth element” to his loves.
He roasts his own coffee, Starbucks free since December 2010, and is thankful for both experiences. He is willing to discuss his hobbies but DO NOT ask how many or what firearm he owns. Reading is a past-time he loves and hates at the same time. Medically there is help for him, but only in Africa.
He spends his summer afternoons listening to Yankee games, fall months following the Oklahoma Sooner’s, and winter and spring cheering for the Thunder. Oh, and he cannot STAND the Dallas Cowboys who are the wannabe Yankees of the NFL.
Currently reading: “No One Like Him” by John Feinberg; “What is the Mission of the Church” by DeYoung and Gilbert; and “The Lord of the Rings” by Sir J.R.R Tolkien.

Shawn Wilhite
Shawn Wilhite is a recovering fundamentalist. “Hi, my name is….” Enjoying a stimulating book any time of the day as a means of grace, Shawn is most thankful for the grace God has extended to him through the union he has with Christ and with his wife, Allyson. After growing up as a weak agnostic, Shawn was convicted of his sins and embraced the gospel near the end of his High School years.
When Shawn is not entrenched in ministry or academic studies, he enjoys the friendship of his dog, watching and playing sports, and writing and playing music.
Thankfully, Christian fellowship is not determined by what sport teams people cheer for because Shawn has a strong–inner dislike for the Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma Sooners, and New York Yankees, but loves USC Trojan’s collegiate football, Dallas Cowboys, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
You can also follow the musings of Shawn through Twitter. He also blogs at Doctrinae Coram Deo, which focuses upon more academic topics.
I stumbled on your site today looking to see if Walter Kaiser’s article in the June 2012 issue of JETS is online anywhere. Anyway, wanted to know more about who is blogging here, and noticed that Jason Vaughn roasts his own coffee. Glad to here this is the case. This is the only way to enjoy a good cup of coffee. I’ve been roasting since 05 or 06.
Jeff, We’re 3 TMS grads who are friends and spread literally across the country from coast to coast! We love Jesus and His church and want to keep each other sharp regarding our theology. We write to each other . . . or just write to write to stay sharp.
Actually Ken Stiles roasts his own coffee too! Shawn is almost there as he most recently has been set apart in his love or coffee! It’s always good to meet more coffee gurus
What’s you’re favorite origin? Hard for me NOT to like anything from Kenya, but definitely prefer Dry Process over Wet Process and think this is my key factor.
Where you from?
Jason
Jason, I am a student Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary; and have been since 2007. Struggled with my languages, but working on them and now making some progress. I’m a member of an OPC here in South Carolina, and currently working toward licensure in the OPC. I blog, but not that often at AOMin.org and when I do,it is usually regarding resources (I don’t have anything profound to say)
My new favorite, which I’ve been drinking for a couple of months are coffees from Burundi. I just noticed SM is out. I recently purchased 5 lbs. from them, and I’m glad I did.
Blessings!
