graduate work
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
Southern evangelical seminary
certificate in christian apologetics
While serving in full-time church ministry, I completed the Certificate in Christian Apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary as a recipient of the Frank Turek Scholarship.
My study in apologetics strengthened my pursuit of biblical truth and equipped me to better engage the questions confronting Christian faith in contemporary culture.

messianic jewish studies
My studies continued at The King's University, where I spent several years pursuing the Master of Practical Theology in Messianic Jewish Studies.
I have deepened my study of Scripture from a Jewish perspective and sharpened the questions that increasingly captured my attention: How should Christians understand Israel? What happened between the Church and the Jewish people? And how does recovering Jesus' Jewish context shape the way we understand our faith?

01. More than academia
After dedicating my life to God as a response to a life-changing message I heard as a college student in the Spring of 2021, I began realizing the biblical significance of Israel’s story and the Church’s role within this story.
In September of 2021, I attended a life changing conference on the restoration of Israel and the world. I began earnestly seeking God in my school chapel. I spend numerous months in Isaiah 62. Then Genesis 12. God was revealing Himself personally to me as the God of Israel in continues covanent with Abraham. Gods heart for restoration began within me…I couldn’t stay silent. A year later, I became president of Liberty’s Stand With Israel club and began on campus “Psalm 122 prayer for Jerusalem nights.” A move of God within the student body happened, culminating in an early morning prayer movement called The Dwelling Place.
Then, on my 21st birthday something happened. Since then, God gripped my heart for three things:
…to see Jesus rightly,
…understand Israel biblically,
…live life ready for His return.
The journey Continues ——
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
Zechariah 14:4
