Erika Fain

Lead Smore Creator

Erika loves going on experiential dates with her husband, cuddling her babies, and spending quiet time with the Lord (when she can find a moment with two little ones under one!). As an INTJ, she's always on the lookout for ways to grow. If it were up to her, she'd eat dessert all the time, especially jello poke cake. She's incredibly competitive and feels a bit down if she can't get outside when the sun is shining. Erika seeks truth, values honesty, and isn't afraid to gently push back in conversations. If she were a plant, she'd be a sunflower.

Nicholas Fain

Head Fire Starter

Nick is currently living and church planting in Northern Kentucky. He loves nothing more than discussing life and Jesus with friends. He's also into playing and listening to music, fly fishing, and playing Rocket League with his wife. For eight years, Nick worked as a videographer, and now he helps churches build and maintain their websites. He's highly emotional – movies like Real Steel make him cry (there's just something about Hugh Jackman teaching a trash robot to box). He hasn’t cried on an episode yet, but we haven't had any robot guests either!
