Fast Facts
The idea of a university fascinates me, and a Christian university invigorates me. Here, the various disciplines can flourish and support each other as truth is grounded in Him who is Truth–the Lord Jesus.
Homiletics isn’t merely about learning to preach. It requires a deep grasp of the way words form worlds, skills related to interpreting ancient texts, a keen understanding of the human condition, and a commitment to marshal the powers of language to convey the hope of the gospel of Jesus.
2020 Boles Excellence in Teaching Award
Working with students who are eager to search out questions related to God, the world, and humanity gives me joy, as does working alongside colleagues who teach me much more than I could ever learn on my own.
