I have a deep love for God and His word, the Bible, which has become my passion and calling to teach. Most of my teaching is done online via several sites, where I respond to issues in the church and society by giving understanding and application of God's word. My teaching includes an overview of the Bible, a focused interpretation of the various books, and discovering the key themes and doctrines.

I am specialized in teaching the inductive Bible study method, which gives students the tools to study the Bible for themselves. I have led a Bible School that focuses exclusively on that approach, which was foundational to helping me study very quickly for my bachelor's and master's degrees, and was the basis for my dissertation for my doctorate.

I have authored the following books:
- Let Her Fly! Freed From Patriarchy
- Evangelicals, Trump, and the Bible: The Bride and The Beast of The Apocalypse
- ABORTION AND THE BIBLE: Can Pro-life and Pro-choice Both Be Right?
- Dismantling Dispensationalism: A guide to better understanding the Last Days and the End Times

Here's the background to my passion for the Bible:
I grew up in a family that intermittently went to church, and I've always believed in the existence of God. At age 20, feeling that life had nothing to satisfy me, God spoke to me, saying, “What about what you learned when you were young?” I responded by giving my life to Him and got changed in such a way that I have never looked back.

In the year of my conversion, I got invited by a friend to go as part of an evangelical outreach team to other areas of the country. The experience was to be life-changing. I was so excited to see people coming to the Lord and how God used us, especially despite our weaknesses. On the outreach, I heard the testimony of a man who lived by faith as a full-time missionary with his wife and family. His account of his life resonated deeply in me, and I wanted, from then, to experience the same.

Very soon after the outreach, I attempted to go into full-time missions. However, the leader of the organization I was interested in joining felt that the timing was not right for me. I was heartbroken but got consoled through prayer and the belief that God was leading. In hindsight, I could later see how God better prepared me by keeping me back and sowing so much more into my life. In the meantime, I took several opportunities to go on more short-term outreaches.

Finally, in 1991, four years after my conversion and call into missions, I received the call to go full-time. Several months after being heartbroken by a failed romantic relationship, the Lord said, “If you take care of My bride, I will take care of yours.” I knew that if I put Him first, He would care for me.

God then directed me to read, “Matthew 28:19.” Doubting that such a chapter and verse even existed, I opened my Bible and read, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” I knew then, without a doubt, that the time had come to be involved in a full-time role for this purpose.

Later that year, I joined Operation Mobilization (OM), South Africa. After a six-month training team, I joined the OM missionary ship, MV Doulos. We traveled to many countries of the world, sharing the Gospel. While serving on board, I met Christina, a co-worker of equal passion for God, who would become my wife.

After leaving the ship, we got married and went on to serve as youth pastors at a local Methodist church in South Africa. Then, a year later, we did a short-term outreach to Japan.

Soon after our second child was born, we attempted Bible College and were excelling in our courses but had to abandon our studies after six months due to a lack of finances.

In 2000, we were called back into full-time missions, this time with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), Worcester, South Africa. We trained and worked with them in several capacities for nine years. Our opportunity to be involved with the Bible Core Course for several years was perhaps the most significant for my passion, calling, and future.

Then, in 2010, we served YWAM, the local church, and our community as independent missionaries, which led to us founding Light and Life Bible Ministries, which helps people apply God's Word to all of life. During this time I pursued formal theological training and have a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Christian Leaders College, a Master of Theological Studies degree from Nations University, and a Doctor of Biblical Studies degree from Wesley School of Divinity.
