I was born in 1956 and became a believer at the age of six. I was an ordained minister at the age of 19. I have functioned as a minister in music, youth leader, co-pastor and pastor. In the mid to late 80’s I began my quest on the “roots,” “Hebrew heritage” path. I fail to try to label myself much like Joe. I am not trying to be Joe’s shadow. However, I feel like we have a lot in common. Since that time, I have received a Doctorate of Divinity. This degree is an honorary degree I received from my peers at Midwest Theological Seminary in 2002. My second Doctoral Degree is a Degree in Theology given in 2005 from Midwest Seminary of Bible Theology. My third Doctoral Degree is a PhD. and was presented to me in June of 2006 by International Seminary of Bible Theology. Each degree has an emphasis on research and teaching. The Degree in Philosophy has an emphasis in Research and Biblical culture.
The emphasis in my programs will be the ancient texts that illuminate the Biblical text. My program is called “Midrashim.”
Midrashim: interpretation, investigation, research and expounding
