Humans of OBU: Professors

February 18, 2016

I found out early on that I had a knack for explaining things and especially explaining God’s Word to people. To my friends, we had a college Bible study and for some reason they sort of turned to me for the answers and I just had some explanations. So, that plus my love of the Scriptures really drove me to want to become a professor. At the same time, I knew I didn’t want to be a pastor, I didn’t want to be a worship leader, I didn’t want to be a missionary or a student minister. So there you have it, that’s why I wanted to be a professor.”
