Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms

1 Peter 4:10 

My teaching, research, and leadership will always be embedded first in faith and Christian truth in the subjects that I teach and departments where I serve.  With the Great Commission as a foundation I believe that Christian Education can be the catalyst for a lifetime of service.
