Prophetic Spirituality
The two great hungers of our time are the hunger for spirituality and
the hunger for social justice – and the connection between the two
has great power to motivate people to action.

My doctoral research brings together the fields of education and practical theology, seeking to address concerns of equity through critical reflection and listening leadership along the journey of continuous improvement. My hope is for congregational leaders to enrich their understanding of biblical themes of justice, listen to diverse voices in the local community through an asset-based lens, reflect on personal assumptions and cultural values, and participate in ongoing communities of practice to encourage continuous learning, modeling for adult learners how lived faith bends toward justice.
