Jay Kinsinger was created to build. From an early age, he loved being able to put things together and would much rather build his own toys than buy them. As he grew, he found himself working in a tool shop, and that’s exactly where God met him: where he specifically created him to create. After dedicating his life to Jesus in that shop, Jay began his journey in learning how to worship the way God made him to. To him, true worship includes using how his mind works with engineering and building beautiful bicycles out of the original composite: wood. He also is an engineering professor at Cedarville University where he helps others hone and grow in their God-given abilities to create through building. Like most creatives, Jay struggles with perfectionism and distraction, but he is ever learning that God faithfully dwells in our midst as we explore His character through our brilliant ability to create.
Exodus 31:3 – I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.
