  • My Story

    My delight is to proclaim the Word of God to people. I love the study and explanation of Scripture applied to the ordinary lives of real people. The opportunity to shape the lives of young people who will serve the church and lead in their families and communities is a tremendous joy. I want to communicate passion in serving the great King to those who are preparing to serve Him.

    Favorite Course to Teach:

    Expository Preaching and Teaching is my favorite course because I get to demonstrate for students how to move from the text of Scripture to a contemporary sermon that will impact the lives of people with truth, clarity, and passion.
