Committed to equipping spiritually mature, biblically grounded, and culturally engaged leaders for the Church and nonprofit sectors.

With a vision for leadership, education, culture, critical thinking, and diverse communities, my book, Christ-centered Education: Post-critical Christian Pedagogy explores ways to build culture from timeless principles, while allowing teachers to lead from who they are, and students to make choices for growth as the next generation of leaders.
