Spiritual Biography
I accepted Christ at age seven at church camp. When I went forward, the preacher explained how to be born again. I asked Jesus to forgive my sin and become my Savior. I understood that salvation is by grace through faith and not based on my good deeds. Minutes later I told my mother, "It feels like there's a fountain inside washing me all clean." My upbringing included weekly church and Sunday School attendance as well as Christian school education from grade 6 on through college. My undergraduate major was psychology but I took thirty credit hours of Bible because I wanted a Christian perspective to my studies.During doctoral studies at St. Louis University, I was active in my church including being a member of a small group Bible study. My wife and I now attend Westminster Presbyterian Church, a PCA church in Elgin. I lead a small group Bible study and she participates in the worship team. I teach psychology at Judson University, a Christian university near Chicago.
Speaking Biography
God has blessed me with many opportunities to speak to parents, twice at Great Homeschool Conventions, the FPEA Convention, twice at the Hearts at Home National Convention, and over sixty presentations to MOPS groups. I have decades of experience in public speaking as a university professor but I know that a parenting audience differs from a college audience. Parents want solid information but they want it to be practical, practical, practical.
