Tell us a little about yourself. I am a professor of evangelism and church growth
at Southern Seminary. Prior to serving on the
faculty, I pastored Baptist churches in Ohio for
fourteen years.
What was your motivation behind this project? I became interested in spiritual warfare when I
saw churches not making much difference--and
wondering why that happened. More specifically,
I was concerned about why so many Christians
fail to live a victorious Christian life. I have
attempted to produce a resource that helps
individuals and churches overcome the enemy.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I want readers to develop a passion for leading
churches that honor God first and threaten the
enemy second.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Some of my favorite authors are John Piper, Thom
Rainer, and Tom Schreiner. An older author,
William Gurnall, is also a favorite.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I want people to approach spiritual warfare from
a biblical perspective--that is, to recognize
that the battle is real, but we are already
victors in Christ.
