His newest book, "You Were Never Meant to Do It All: A 40-Day Devotional on the Goodness of Being Human" (Brazos 2025), was based on his earlier work, "You’re Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God’s Design and Why That’s Good News," published in 2022. That book received several awards, including Christianity Today’s Book of the Year in the Theology (Popular) category and The Southwestern Journal of Theology’s award in Applied Theology/Ethics.

A few years ago, he completed two volumes with economist Brian Fikkert titled "Becoming Whole: Why the Opposite of Poverty isn’t the American Dream" and "A Field Guide to Becoming Whole: Principles for Poverty Alleviation Ministries." In 2014, Kapic received a Templeton Grant to participate in The Center for Christian Thought, focusing on Psychology and Spiritual Formation. He has also been part of the Core Research Teams for the Templeton-funded studies, including “Project Amazing Grace” and “Christian Meaning-Making, Suffering, and the Flourishing Life.”

Kapic often speaks at churches and conferences, aiming to help God’s people better understand their faith so they can grow in their love for God and neighbor. Kelly and his wife, Tabitha, live on Lookout Mountain. They have two adult children: Jonathan and Margot.

Mallory (Huff) Puckett is a 2013 Covenant Christian High School alumna. She attended Purdue University to study industrial engineering but now finds herself in a full-time technology sales role. While at Purdue, she met her husband, Ethan, and they have been married for eight years. In that short time, they became adoptive and biological parents to four children, ages thirteen to two. She claims that she is too young to be keeping eight living things alive, if you also count their two dogs, cat, and lizard, but God had plans beyond her imagination when he knit their family together. Mallory grew up in Christian education (grades K-12) and is now pursuing that path for her own children as well.

Amanda graduated from Covenant in 2009. She then attended Franklin College, where she double majored in Psychology and Spanish. Finally, she earned her MA from Indiana Wesleyan University, with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy.

Initially, she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do after college. Her first job was with Indiana First Steps, a company that provides developmental therapy for young children. There, she worked with Spanish-speaking families and helped get them started with the program. She wanted to improve her Spanish by fully immersing herself in the community. She lived in Costa Rica for three months and volunteered at a children’s home. It was there that she started listening to all of the kids’ stories. This inspired her to pursue graduate school after returning to the U.S. after earning her degree,

Amanda’s first role was as a school-based therapist. She later transitioned to private practice. Amanda currently works at Northside Mental Health, located in Broad Ripple, where she provides individual, couples, and family therapy, kind of like what you see in the movies!

Amanda’s family includes parents (Mike and Dianne), brothers (Brad and Cody, class of 2008 and 2014), sister-in-law (Sydney), and nephew (Auggie). Oh, we can’t forget the German Shepherd, Dodger, too!
