As I enter the new year, I have tried to articulate my teaching purpose. Here is as concise a statement about who my courses are for, who I will focus most on helping, and the promise I make to those students.
My courses are for people who believe words matter and our God-reflecting imagination rivals reason in its power.
I will focus on people who want to connect—to God and others through the power of words— and grow—in their ability to interpret and communicate what they’ve interpreted.
I promise that my courses will help students get closer to God and others. They are about discipleship. The ability to read and write well draws you closer to the God who made you and the people who were made in God’s image.
