I am a teacher in every sense of the word. Committed to my undergraduate students, I design courses to help the Bible come alive in its ancient context and also become relevant to our modern society. In the seminary context, I work closely with graduate students so that they become informed theological leaders. With other adult learners, I partner with individuals and groups so that they become passionate about the relevance of the Bible to their communities.
