How did past ministry/professional experience lead to your position at Calvary: I came to Calvary full-time after more than 11 years of pastoral ministry. While I believe that students need to participate in Biblical scholarship, I am equally convinced that real education involves providing simple (but not simplistic) answers to the basic questions that "normal" people wonder about.

Ministry/Professional involvement outside of Calvary: I am rather busy as pulpit supply and conference speaker.
