a short introduction
BIOGRAPHY
Beginning June 1, I will become Associate professor of Ethics and the director of the David E. Smith Bioethics and Human Dignity Initiative at Harding University (Searcy, AR). In addition, I serve as the preaching minister for the West Side Church of Christ in Searcy, Arkansas, chairman of the board for the Center for Christian Studies, and adjunct instructor of philosophy, theology, and ethics for St. Louis University. I am the former president of Mars Hill Bible School, and a former associate professor of Bible at Harding University. I received my training from Freed Hardeman University (BA), Harding School of Theology (MA), Oxford University (MPhil), The London School of Economics & Political Science (MSc), and Cambridge University (PhD). I am the author of Finding Locke’s God: The Theological Basis of John Locke’s Political Thought. I continue to write, and you can find my author pages at Amazon and at The Gospel Coalition.
Katie is a dyslexia interventionist by training and experience, and has taught in the public school system in Louisville, KY, and Searcy, AR, as well as private school in Florence, AL. She is currently staying home full time with our daughter and son. Grace is two, Henry is new, and they are the joy of our lives.
With over two decades of experience in education, leadership, and Christian ministry, I believe the passionate pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty culminates in Jesus Christ.
