Wholeness & Holiness

Wholeness and Holiness began as a research project while I was teaching at Augustana College. My goal was to connect my academic work on biblical purity with a need that I saw in our congregations: how to talk to youth about values. A research grant from the Louisville Institute enabled me to explore and develop a set of discussion guides around biblical purity. In January 2012 I partnered with two Youth Ministry professionals based in Des Moines, Iowa: Erik Ullestad and Jake Bouma. Together we wrote and tested a youth-friendly curriculum that is now available from Sparkhouse.
