Why Regent University?

Simply put – God called me here. When my wife and I were still dating in 2005, I worked at a place I loved, lived near friends and family in Ohio, and I was all set to go to another university on a full-ride scholarship. Yet, there was a sense of unrest – God was whispering and I listened... In a matter of two months, we quit our jobs, got married and moved here to get a degree at Regent. There is no question that Regent was the right choice.

Why Online Learning?

As a direct result of earning a Christian education, I have a better grasp of my roles as a Christian, a husband, a lifelong learner, a friend, a follower, and a leader. Moreover, earning a degree is a very fulfilling yet difficult experience. I can’t imagine earning it without the support and encouragement of dedicated Christian faculty and the freedom (and expectation) to grapple with spiritual challenges in the context of the classroom.

Why A Business Degree?

Leadership is interesting, relevant and applicable. Leadership is everywhere but it is not understood by many people. Also, there is a critical need for good leadership everywhere. Last, leadership is essential influence, and without influence, one cannot change the world. The real question is, “Why not a leadership degree?”

Be still, and know that I am God

Have you ever been in that place where you felt as if you should do more with yourself but at the same time you were doing what you were supposed to be doing? A place where your daily toil does not seem to bring forth the harvest you think is should, yet you do not starve. Have you strolled through your garden of life, glanced at the plump fruits hanging from the trees and smelling sweet, yet you knew that they were not quite ripe? Like eager parents in the second trimester, a holiday approaching in a week's time, or a pie in the oven, the anticipation stirs your spirit, yet you agonize in counting the months, days, or minutes until the prize has arrived. Have you ever been so restless that any of your futile attempts to be patient seem to dissolve at the mere rustling of the wind?

In the moments just before God is ready to work in our lives, he wants us to be still. In those moments of humility we should decisively lay our lives upon God’s altar in dutiful obedience. In those moments before any great gifts are received, we should be ready to deny them in order to glorify His name. In those moments, when all seems lost or forgotten, when the sun’s light dims, colors dull, and food loses its sustenance, we should give thanks for air we breathe and know that He will provide. God is good. Be still, and know that He is God.
