What do you like about teaching at Austin Seminary?

Austin Seminary is a “heuristic” place (from Gk. heuriskō), as students are exploring and deepening their calling, gifts, trust in God, and love for others. Engaging with the diverse student body and faculty/staff, I also continue to grow every day. I feel honored to contribute to this nurturing community through my teaching and service.

What would be your superpower?
Well, if I could create one it would be a communication ray, that I would use in situations where people are not communicating clearly. It would create listening bubbles where people would be obliged to put themselves in another's shoes; and it would inject courage and clarity into those who need to speak their truths.

How did you choose your field?

To put it simply: I love theology. I came upon theology almost by chance in college and since then have been captivated by the way that theology, at its best, nurtures attentiveness: to the world, to beauty, to others, and to the mystery of God.
