Jacob Daniel Jackson
I'm an ENFP-T,
which stands for Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Prospecting - Turbulent, also known as "The (Turbulent) Campaigner" Which means I'm the most introverted of all extroverts, and I value creativity, energy, and enthusiasm. I'm very independent and a lifelong learner. I also value deep, meaningful relationships. My favorite Adage is Dance Love Sing Live. I have a strong background in computer programming - I've been coding for over 30 years (since elementary school) and have created a variety of software programs and websites over the years, including a soon-to-be-released app for the App Store called Action Life Management, two Mac/PC games - Anointed One and Celestial Exodus, and websites like crossprayer.org and lifemanagement.site. Finally, and most importantly, I am also a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah, through Impact Ministries International and am a student at Regent University, studying Apologetics & Cosmogony. That means defending the Christian faith with logic, reason, and science, and explaining the origins of the Universe, especially the Solar System, from a Christian perspective. I've been passionate about this subject since I was a boy and am so happy to be studying it in a Master's Degree program at Regent!

Current Project
A 2D Space Adventure/RPG/TBS/Simulation game based on the Bible, called Celestial Exodus, in which you play the role of the Celestial Seeker, with multiple story arcs and quests, dynamic, AI-powered NPCs, various factions, diplomacy, intense space battles, and Bible verses to upgrade spiritual gifts, spacecraft upgrades, the Armor of God, and to bless spacecraft, as well as unlocking Lore knowledge through spying, purchasing, and scriptures. It also includes some puzzles based on Biblical knowledge and themes.
Another Project
Working on a research/development project called PsycheGenesis which is a multidimensional assessment and profiling framework crafted to map the entire human experience—spirit, soul, mind, and body—within a biblically anchored, psychologically insightful, and scientifically informed model. It is designed to offer an integrated lens through which individuals can better grasp their unique God-given identity, spiritual development, and holistic life design. By merging theology, psychology, somatic understanding, and vocational alignment, PsycheGenesis equips users to thrive across emotional, spiritual, and practical domains.

May you both be favored with the future of your choice, may you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!" in the song "To Life!" and a toe-touch off the bar and lots of dancing!

Ministry Activities
I sing in my church worship band, I run slides/lyrics some Sundays, sometimes I read the scripture for the day, I pray on the prayer team as well.
