A highlight of Kaden’s spiritual walk is a camp he attended on the East Coast as a teenager. Evangelical Missions Training Camp or EMT is a ministry of Dove International, a network of churches The Hive is part of. “Going to the camp has been a unique opportunity to pray and share the gospel with people and see them come to the Lord.  He regularly goes on outreaches with a local group these days. 

 

“Ultimately, I am passionate about everyone—including myself on a level I have not experienced—having
a deep personal life changing relationship with God.”  

 

Kaden said his spiritual gifts are in the areas of evangelism, leadership and worship—and prophecy, he said. “I think a lot of music has to do with prophecy,” he said.

 

For leisure, the youngest of 13 children likes to write. “I’ve written songs, short stories, a book. None of those have been published, but that is something I do,” he said. The 2025 graduate also enjoys sports. His favorite is basketball, which he played throughout high school.

​

When asked about his marital status, he replied, 

"I'm single. You can mention that."

 

An interesting fact about Kaden is that he is an experienced traveler, having visited 12 different countries. His family maintains relationships with people around the world, he said. So, visiting people is a big part of their travel.  He spoke particularly about a road trip across Europe with his family that he enjoyed. ​
