Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. Psalm 80:3
Speaker Dr. Thomas WestThomas West is our speaker for Spiritual Life Week and will challenge us toward spiritual awakening and renewal. Dr. West is the Senior Pastor of Nashville First Baptist Church and an adjunct professor of theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. A former church planter in London, he is passionate about equipping followers of Jesus to live out the gospel in today’s world. A native of Montgomery, Alabama, he completed his undergraduate studies at Auburn University and earned both a Master of Divinity and a Ph.D. from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. His academic research focuses on the writings of Lesslie Newbigin and the theology of mission to Western culture. Along with Trevin K. Wax, Dr. West coauthored “The Gospel Way Chatecism: 50 Truths That Take On the World,” which is set to release in July. He’s married to Elizabeth and they have two children and one energetic English Maltipoo. We are excited to host Thomas as he speaks and ministers to our Wheaton Academy community.
Spiritual Life Week Schedule
We are incredibly excited about Spiritual Life Week next week February 3-7, and we invite you to pray that God would move mightily among our student body and community. It is our prayer that His Holy Spirit would awaken us from spiritual apathy and move us boldly into lives of purpose that reflect His character and build His Kingdom.
