Jared serves as associate professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Bethlehem College and Seminary. Jared loves teaching and preaching the Bible and training others to do the same. He loves thinking and talking about how the Bible fits together and how we fit into the Bible’s big story. He also loves (and sometimes hates!) writing. Jared’s written articles and reviews for several publications and published three books, most recently Biblical Theology According to the Apostles: How the Earliest Christians Told Israel’s Story (IVP, 2020), a book he wrote with two of his childhood friends. Best of all, he’s been a Christian for 30 years, married to his best friend Charisse for over 20 years, and has been telling dad jokes for 18 years. Jared, Charisse, and their three children—Asher, Jude, and Haven—live in Arden Hills and are members of The North Church.
