Greg
was born in Sioux City, Iowa and has also called Nebraska and California
his home. He was introduced to the Lord by his parents at the age of 10,
and found in Jesus Christ a life-long Friend and Savior. That commitment
was strengthened during a nine-month recuperation from a severe farm
accident.
Greg received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Grace University in
Omaha, NE. He then received his Master of Arts degree from Talbot School
of Theology/Biola University in La Mirada, CA, and his Ph.D. degree in
Community and Human Resources from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
While completing his education, Greg experienced valuable work and
ministry experience as the Associate Pastor and Senior Pastor of several
churches in Nebraska.
For seventeen years, Greg served at Grace University in Omaha NE as a
professor, Chair of the Christian Education Department and Dean of the
School of Graduate Studies. In 2004, he moved to the Chicago area to be
the Director of the Rorheim Institute, the adult training ministry of
Awana Clubs International. August, 2007 found Greg returning to teaching
as the Chair and Professor of Christian Ministries at Trinity
International University, Deerfield, IL.
He is the author of Understanding Teaching, Effective Biblical
Teaching for the 21st Century; Perspectives on Children’s Spiritual
Formation; Shepherding Parents; and Rock Solid Teacher, Discovering the
Joy of Teaching Like Jesus. As an experienced Walk Thru the Bible
