I serve as the Senior Fellow for Religion and Public Life at the Center for Religion Culture and Democracy (an initiative of First Liberty Institute) and Associate Professor of Church History at Southern Seminary. 

I work with pastors, educators, and students to help promote a positive vision of religion for the public square.

My work at CRCD, along side my teaching and writing, combines my passion for discipleship and cultural engagement.
