Mission Hermeneutics (Israel-first) + Pauline Mission (Paul within Judaism)

I am a practitioner-scholar in Christian mission focusing on Israel-centered hermeneutics and Paul within Judaism. My research argues that the Bible’s missional arc is rooted in Israel’s covenantal–apocalyptic horizon and that Paul’s ministry welcomes Gentiles into that story through Israel’s Messiah without erasing Jewish identity. This reframing renders supersessionism ahistorical and clarifies ecclesial practices: table-fellowship, leadership formation, and intercultural unity as participation in Israel’s promises rather than replacement. My practical work serves as a case study of what changes when we read Scripture this way: healthier boundary-keeping, deeper belonging, and mission that honors difference while cultivating communion.

I read Scripture’s mission from Israel outward and interpret Paul as a Jesus-following Jew welcoming the nations into Israel’s covenantal life—without erasing Jewish identity. This reframing resists supersessionism and clarifies practice: table-fellowship, leadership, and unity

Foundational Theses:

Why it matters (for departments & students): Non-supersessionist clarity that connects text → horizon → practice for real ministry decisions.

• Measurable outcomes (beyond attendance)

Workshops • Trainings • Retreats

Workshop 1 — Intercultural Communion: Table-Economics (1 Cor 10-11)

A practical intensive on the Lord’s Supper as a counter-assembly. We unpack koinōnia, “discerning the body,” and practice a simple protocol—wait • share • repair—that turns communion into regular recognition and repair. Teams leave with Sunday-ready liturgy boxes, a conscience-aware hospitality policy, and a 90-day pilot plan.

Outcomes

• Wait/Share/Repair script & roles

• Hospitality + conscience policy draft

• 90-day implementation plan

Workshop 2 — Missional Discipleship: From Pews to Practices

Design a discipleship pathway that forms people for mission. We map small steps (pray-listen-bless), create weekly practice cards, and build a 6-week pilot that ties Sunday worship to weekday witness. Includes coaching on how to measure fruit beyond attendance.

Outcomes

• 6-week pilot plan + practice cards

• Leader scripts & testimonies plan

• Simple mission dashboard (leading/lagging indicators)

• Invite me to train

Workshop 3 — Life on Fire: Wesley's Revival Practices from the Early Methodist Movement

Learn the proven practices of Wesley’s revival spirituality that swept the British Isles and spread throughout the world. Leave with a starter guide and an 8-week launch plan (individual and church-wide).

Outcomes

• Disciple-making starter guide

• 8-week launch plan (individual + church-wide)

• Facilitator scripts & covenant

Workshop 4 — Reaching With Others, Not Just To Them: Discovering the Power of Co-Mission in a Divided World

What if your next disciple-making partner spoke another language? This session draws on Wesley's movement wisdom and intercultural studies to multiply disciples through relationships that build trust and expand mission.

Outcomes

• Reframe mission → co-mission (Matt 28, Acts 11)

• Adoptable partnership habits

• Partner map, first-contact script, 90-day next-step plan with checklist

Formats

• Quickstart (90 min): one session + take-home toolkit

About Me

I serve to help communities belong to one another in Christ—without erasing difference—and design informed practices that make that belonging real.

I serve the church as a practitioner-scholar: a pastor and nonprofit leader shaped by mission studies research. My PhD work explores Paul within Israel’s covenantal–apocalyptic horizon and the Lord’s Supper in 1 Corinthians as a counter-assembly that forms intercultural communion. In plain terms: I connect research to usable practices—so leaders can act wisely, not just talk about change.

I’ve led in pastoral ministry, faith-based nonprofit administration and finance, and intercultural engagement—and those lanes converge in my teaching and training. In academic settings, I teach Pauline Mission, Missional Hermeneutics, and World Christianity, moving students from text → horizon → practice through labs, case studies, and an interpretive matrix that links exegesis to ministry decisions. With churches and organizations, I guide teams through Table-Economics (wait • share • repair), missional discipleship, Wesleyan bands/classes, and board governance/fundraising that align vision, budget, and people with gospel impact.

When Scripture is read faithfully, neighbors are loved well, and systems sustain both, mission stays on course—and people and communities flourish.
