Highlights
Why I teach at Covenant Theological Seminary
I greatly enjoy the opportunity to explore the interface between psychology, medicine, and theology in my teaching and counseling. I learn much in being able to do both of these and enjoy the challenge of passing on all I have and am learning to the next generation of pastors, teachers and counselors.
I have come to love and deeply respect my fellow professors with whom it is a great privilege to work. There is a remarkable unity of belief and purpose among us and a deep care for one another. All of us are deeply grateful for the grace of God in our imperfections and weaknesses.
