Comments:
Cornerstone is a place where I can teach from my whole person, including my spiritual and moral dimensions. I enjoy challenging students to incorporate psychology into their Christian worldviews and to think about how their beliefs and values will set their work apart from their secular colleagues. I welcome the opportunity to mentor students not only in regard to academic pursuits but also their personal growth and development. Cornerstone's focus on reaching our world and the hurting with unchanging, dependable biblical principles fits so naturally with my personal philosophy of health, healing, growth and development.
