What do you like the most about teaching at Grace?
I have always loved the privilege of interacting with and training students who have the potential to change the world, their countries, their communities, and their churches for Christ.
What is your most unforgettable experience as a Grace professor?
The most significant so far has been the richness of the Doctor of Ministry course. I taught Effective Biblical Leadership, and the students in that course were top-notch.
How do you embody the love of Christ in your teaching ministry?
The task of the spiritual teacher is primarily to serve and stretch the student. It may be uncomfortable, but if done with sensitivity and a servant’s heart, students become equipped to minister in ways they had not realized they could.
