Nate Barksdale has known, learned from, and worked with Andy Crouch in various capacities for more than fourteen years. He brings an insatiable curiosity, a very long reading list, and a love of convergence, connection, and cross-cultural coincidence (not to mention the letter C) to his curatorial work for culture-making.com. In the past he's edited theology and travel guides, taken buses and trains all the way from Cape Town to Kampala, written a not-so-great honors thesis about the history of Swahili dictionaries, and circumnavigated the Sea of Galilee on a bicycle.
He lives near his extended family at the edge of Portland, Oregon.
