Nikki Carroll Hardeman

In addition to her work with Faithelement, Nikki pursues her vocational ministry as a minister to youth and families, and through retreat-leading and supply-preaching. She has also enjoyed the opportunity to adjunct-teach Old Testament at Mercer University. The Rev.

Nikki and her husband Daniel have two children at home: Natalie, a curious and sensitive eight-year-old and Liam, a very busy four-year-old. They also have a lovable rat terrrier, Jayne. When she has a free moment, Nikki enjoys traveling, watching great T.V. shows on Netflix, taking on new projects around the house, and learning to quilt.
Also check out Nikki on the Glass Half Full podcast (with Erin Robinson Hall).

Devin Harris-Davis
Youth and Media Session Page Writer
After working in multiple churches and non-profit organizations, including higher education, for more than a decade, Devin took a leap of faith to pursue her creative passions full-time. Believing that embodying creativity is a way to commune with the Divine, she seeks out opportunities to develop imaginative ideas into reality. As a portrait photographer and travel writer, Devin maintains a travel website and YouTube channel, Creatives En Route. Devin graduated from Georgetown College with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 2012 and from BSK Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 2019.
When she’s not on the road in her converted SUV camper, Devin & her husband Philip reside in Georgetown, KY. An avid FC Cincinnati soccer fan, Devin is also often found in the Bailey fan section fervently cheering on the Orange and Blue.

Steve McClain
Current Session Writer
Once the writing bug bit Steve in college, it was in his bloodstream. After 20-plus years as a sports editor, copy editor and editor, he left journalism to work in public relations and public affairs before recently returning to journalism as a reporter at the Georgetown News Graphic. He has worked with youth groups for many years, and currently is a deacon at Faith Baptist Church in Georgetown, KY. Besides church and family, he has two passions – sports and reading, particularly anything by Robert B. Parker. But he spends many nights watching the Cincinnati Reds, UK football and basketball and other sports. He may or may not be a closet pro wrestling fan as well. A political junkie, he is constantly searching for ways that God’s calling can happen in today’s polarized society.

David Adams
Chief Curriculum Guru
While he is currently wearing many hats, including that of Director of Institutional Design at the Baptist Seminary of Kentucky, David served on a number of church staffs, as well as on regional and national boards and committees for multiple Christian denominations and has been in and around curriculum resource design and production for a very long while. In addition to various projects for FaithLab, he has also worked with Group Publishing, Judson Press, Smyth & Helwys Publishing, and other professional resource providers, as well as creating numerous resources for churches, camps, and other organizations.
A dedicated technologist (which sounds better than saying “computer geek”), David has spent much of the past few years exploring ways to apply information-age tools to faith and culture, and is often called upon for pulpit supply, workshops, consulting, or anything else that congregations might need as they come to grips with the changing times. As one of those people who would do just about anything for his students, he sometimes has to. David is currently the Interim Pastor of the Living Faith Church of Northern Kentucky. He and his wife Patty live in Northern Kentucky with their daughter Rebecca. In addition to being an ardent basketball fan, he works to maintain his readiness in case John Calipari should call for help.
