I am a minister at the New York Avenue church of Christ. I have earned MA degrees from Reformed Theological Seminary and Lipscomb University, and have taken extensive coursework in biblical and ancient Near Eastern history, archaeology, and languages at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In 2017 I completed a PhD in Biblical Studies with an Emphasis in Old Testament.

I serve as a staff writer for Apologetics Press, as a professional associate for the Associates for Biblical Research, and as a staff blogger for the Apologia Institute. You can see my work in The Gospel Advocate, Anchor Digital Magazine, Reason and Revelation, Sufficient Evidence, and Bible and Spade. I have authored three books: 12 Compelling Truths, Rediscovering Jesus, and Who is Like the Lord?

I am an active member of the American Schools of Oriental Research, the Archaeological Institute of America, the Society of Biblical Literature, the Evangelical Theological Society, and the International Society of Christian Apologetics.
