“If the Bible is true, then none of our fears are legitimate, none of our frustrations are permanent, and none of our opposition is significant.”
I taught Bible at BJU from 2000 to 2025, following 19 years as a writer, editor, and supervisor at BJU Press. I taught courses in theology, New Testament, and Old Testament, with special interests in ecclesiology and the Pauline Epistles. I also led the BJU summer ministry team to Africa from 2007 to 2019. Nothing brings me more joy than teaching in developing countries.
My wife, Pam, and I are members at Grace Baptist Fellowship, Greenville, SC. We have two grown daughters, who are objectively better than anybody else’s children. I have enjoyed occasional acting in dramatic productions at BJU, mostly to learn by watching real actors. I once rode a bicycle from Boston to Greenville (alone, as it should be), and I’ve made the second highest bungee jump in the world, at Victoria Falls, Zambia. I throw a baseball with my right hand and a football with my left. (It’s complicated.) I’ve held both a brown belt (nikyu) in judo and EMT certification, but those were a long time ago. Even longer ago, I once sang in concert with Dean Wilder, and I can’t sing a lick.
