Why I Teach at Regent
Throughout history Christians have sought greater understanding and practice of their faith, including deeper relationship with God and others, along with better ways of being and doing in culture. Helping students develop faithful, thoughtful, meaningful, and ethical lives—centered in our triune God (Father, Son, and Spirit)—expresses my calling and why I teach at Regent University.
