 Honestly, he's the most influential professor and person I've ever met. He is one of the movers and shakers in the national youth ministry movement. One of the most passionate men I have seen about youth ministry. Kevin is an enormous asset to this institution. My name is Dr. Kevin Turner. I chair the youth ministry's department and teach broadly in the School of Theology. I'm passionate about the discipline of youth ministry. My life as an adolescent was phenomenally impacted by a trained youth worker. One question I'm frequently asked is, what do you teach? And my response is always the same. The question is not what but who. What I want to make sure is that I am focused in on the individual needs, the individual successes, the individual gifts and callings of my students. The little punchline about Turner at CCU is if you want to study youth ministry, you better buy a bookshelf because you're going to be doing a bunch of reading. My thought is if all you get is my expertise and my 25 years of youth ministry experience, you're not getting enough. I've got to introduce you to the great minds, the sages. I've been married to my wife, Beth, for almost 30 years. We have two children. I have a son, Paul, who's a freshman here at Colorado Christian University. I have a daughter and she's very excited about coming here as soon as she graduates from high school. So we'll be a CCU family in every sense of that word. He's a very broad scholar as well as a very deep scholar in his particular field. He really has a heart for students and really has a heart not just for teaching them the biblical truth but teaching them the truth that can be lived out in daily life. I actually believe in myself and believe that God can work through me because I know that having him as a professor, I'm well prepared to go into youth ministry. So I'm a theologian and we always have to be asking the question, why are we doing what we're doing and how does that in the doing reflect and glorify God?
