    This form of learning gives myself and others a greater purpose than simply graduating. We are here to serve God; we are not learning for our own benefit but for God’s benefit.

I would not have been able to see this without a Christian liberal arts education. It has essentially helped me understand society better and respect people in other disciplines and discourse communities more because I see that they are serving God in their studies just as much if not more than I am in my studies.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…
