Faith & Life

Bio

I have centered my work at NPC by persistently encouraging teachers to weave the Word of God into every area of their teaching, i.e., math, tech, art, etc. Beyond that, I help teachers connect all of this to the students’ lives. And beyond that, I ask them to teach them with the end in view: a worldview that includes seeing all of life through “the spectacles of Scripture.
