Today was graduation and our first where faculty wore regalia.
I had the honor of wearing Beeson Divinity School Founding Dean Dr. Timothy George’s robe.
To walk in the regalia of someone who shaped my theological journey meant more than I can say.
His initials are stitched inside: TFG.

One highlight of the IACE Conference was hearing Dr. Timothy Tennent, the new Beeson Divinity Methodist Chair, speak on “Christian Higher Education and the Global Church.” Excited to have him in Birmingham and to learn more from him!

Just back from the 6th Annual IACE Conference at SWBTS. Grateful for meaningful conversations on Christian education and leadership. A school photographer happened to capture my foggy morning walk on their beautiful campus.

Five years ago today Timothy Keller came to Birmingham and I was able to tell him how much he’s influenced my life. Thank you, John Ball, for inviting me! Keller’s insights, sermons, and books left such an impact on me that I recently named my son Keller in his honor.
