The Academy was born
When I started in February, 2022, I had some early supporters who believed in me, a fledging YouTube channel, and a dream that I could create a thriving online Bible community.
It has taken longer than I thought
Bringing the Bible Academy to life has stretched me and challenged me in ways I could never have imagined.
It has been harder than I thought
I almost gave up. I pushed myself too hard and really questioned whether I had what it took to pull this off.
I believe in it now more than ever
Understanding the Bible will profoundly change your life, and my passion is to help you experience this transformation for yourself.

SKILLS
Gain the Proper tools and Mindset for LEARNING
Our Bible learning struggles often have little to do with the text itself and more to do with how we set up our lives and habits. The Skills area offers tactical training to set you up for success every time you open up God’s Word.

STORY
Connect the Major Events in the Biblical Narrative
Most people think of the Bible in terms of books instead of a single, complete narrative. When you learn the larger story of Scripture and the major turning point moments in the story, it completely changes how you read the Bible forever.

I knew I had to make a Change
Being in full-time ministry for 20 years was incredibly rewarding. However, being a Pastor often meant that I was needed for things that had nothing to with my primary passion of teaching the Bible and helping others to understand and apply it to their lives.
So, in February 2022, I stepped down.
