Taking on a new challenge at BGU

 I'm in an interesting transitional season at the moment. Bakke Graduate University has invited me to serve as their next President. I'll officially step into that role during BGU's graduation ceremony in Dallas on June 3, 2023. I'll still be pastoring at North Way, but I'll be taking a lot of responsibilities off of my plate in order to free up time to lead BGU and to serve the community of East Liberty well as a pastor at the Ministry Hub. In these transitional months, I'm handing off leadership with LAMP mentoring. I'm sad to not be dedicating as much time with that, but it's in good hands moving forward. I'll also be handing off leadership of the academic programs at BGU to a new academic dean. I really enjoyed that role at BGU and I learned a lot. Hopefully the experience that I gained on the academic side of higher education leadership will assist me with leading as a university president. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
