About

I am an evolutionary Pentecostal, with a B.A. in Biblical Studies and Philosophy from Evangel University (Assemblies of God) and an M.Div. from Palmer Seminary (American Baptist). I pastored three churches. Since April 2002, my wife and I have traveled North America sharing a God-centered view of evolution with religious and secular audiences of all ages. My book, Thank God for Evolution! How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World, has been endorsed by five Nobel laureates and dozens of ministers, theologians, and other leaders across the theological spectrum.
