ÃÛ¶¹app?
ÃÛ¶¹app has been and continues to be one of the single most influential communities of believers in my life. This is home for me. I was born and raised in Cedarville, I met my wife here; I earned my first degree of higher education here; I found most of my lifelong friends and mentors here. In short, I am here to return the favor and play my part to positively influence the next generation of Christian scholars for the glory of God.
