I help people understand what the Bible says - and why it matters in their world today.
A note from Scott...
I help people understand what the Bible says— and why it matters in their world today.
My passion is making complex theological ideas accessible, practical, and relevant so people can thoughtfully wrestle with Scripture and confidently apply it to everyday life. I have the privilege of teaching and leading people from diverse generations, cultures, political perspectives, educational backgrounds, and worldviews. Whether addressing questions about purpose, ethics, identity, suffering, leadership, or culture, my goal is to communicate timeless Biblical truth with clarity, intellectual honesty, and compassion.
Beyond the local church, I've consulted with nonprofit organizations, coached ministry leaders, facilitated leadership cohorts across the Midwest, been a chaplain for the Michigan State football team and helped organizations navigate theological, philosophical, and organizational challenges. Earlier in my career, I worked in sales, consulting, and real estate—experiences that strengthened my ability to understand people, solve problems, and communicate complex ideas in practical ways.
I enjoy conversations with leaders, educators, pastors, nonprofit organization leaders, and anyone interested in exploring the relationship between biblical truth, thoughtful leadership, and modern culture. Send me a note and let me know how I can help...
