About

Faith fuels the prophetic and pastoral edges of our lives and helps us take that first step, as Martin Luther King Jr. so powerfully reminds us, when we do not see the staircase. Faith seeps deep within our hearts and into our souls like a yearning, or like fear that has said a prayer, and then we trust that the Holy will be there with a guiding hand, a willing spirit, a relentless love or a cattle poke to help us on the way. The challenges of our day must be met with many things—courage, determination, a sharp, critical and analytical eye, an ability to listen and to speak up, and robust faith. In times like these, it is wise to see the world as it is; we also see the world as it can be. We must work hard to break down the walls that separate us and keep us from coming to truly know each other, and we must refuse to practice mediocre religion in an apathetic world that is often controlled by fear.

Goals and interests

Career goal

The seeds of obedience you plant today will reap a harvest of righteousness in time. You have a great head start on the fool’s parade, your generational peers who are busy looking for their pants after spending last weekend breaking a bucket of commandments.

I always say that young men are like trucks: they drive straighter when weighted with a load. Lamentations 3:27 says, “It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.” I praise God that you are looking down the road of your life, seeking the wisest course of action while remaining open to the Lord Jesus redirecting you as he determines. That being said, I will give you some general counsel. I only work for a non-profit and am no prophet, so I won’t presume to know God’s specific will for your life. However, there are two things I would strongly recommend.f course, my path is not the path for everyone. But it is quite sad to see well-intentioned men get a theological degree, go into massive debt, forego children so that their wife can carry the family financially, and graduate—only to be out of ministry within a few years for whatever reason and unable to get a decent job because their ability to parse Greek verbs and articulate the difference between Berkhof and Barth doesn’t do much good beyond debating the other pastor sitting next to them at the unemployment office.

Graduate school interests

I am looking for degrees to provide me with in-depth studies into Christian theology and practical application, consider the 60-hour Master of Arts in Theological Studies program (MATS) or the 36-hour Master of Arts in Ministry (M.A.MIN) program at Bethel College. These programs are structured to provide me with an advanced degree in one or two years of study.

Outside the classroom

Snow and water skiing,as well as participating in all sports. I thrive on testimonials and helping others to find the Lord. I pride myself in being a great supportive friend in every way possible. I enjoy worshipping and and playing the guitar whenever possible and I enjoy any outdoor activity with friends and family!
