Edward Simmons
Edward Simmons’ spiritual journey has taken him from youthful religious certainty to deep questioning—and back again to a faith grounded in action, compassion, and personal conviction. Once a fundamentalist teen who avoided prom for religious reasons, he later evolved through scholarship, personal trials, and profound moments of both spiritual presence and absence.
