Bread-making is a great way to teach servant leadership, and I had the opportunity to do this with 58 couples who are lay leaders at Kwang Myung Church in South Korea. What a fun day!

To the 1,778 students who graduated from APU last Saturday: We are so proud of what you accomplished, and can’t wait to see where God leads you next. WATCH: youtu.be/vv_oHqiKMZs #APUGraduation #Classof2019
Well, one last commencement. Gail and I are now a part of the class of 2019, and we collectively look to what God has for all of us going forward. These have been the best years so far, and we wait with expectancy and wonder for what is just around the corner. Shalom. #iheartAPU
APU chapel holds a special place in my heart. This video shows part of the last chapel I led as president of APU, and is also the final episode in the series documenting my last year as president. Thank you for going on this journey with me. Shalom. youtu.be/JN6FVzxCBaw

What I love about our residence halls is the important role they play in helping shape students’ development and understanding of what it means to live in Christ-centered community. Watch part 2 of my conversation with Shino: youtu.be/410t7TUqLxg
During a walk through Adams Hall with Shino Simons this summer, dean of student life at APU, we reminisced on our time spent there and how it shaped our understanding of community. Watch: youtu.be/67MxACEIXHg
