2023 Speakers
Dr. Jeremy Kimble
Dr. Jeremy Kimble is passionate about teaching college and seminary students the truth of God’s Word. His hope is that through his courses, students will grow in their love for God and others, rightly understand the grand narrative of Scripture, and apply theological truths to everyday life as they make disciples and multiply churches. Dr. Kimble is committed to teaching in the classroom, mentoring students in smaller settings, and speaking in churches, camps, and conferences. He served in pastoral ministry for eight years and most recently served as co-leader of an adult Sunday School class at Grace Baptist Church in Cedarville, OH. In his role as a theology professor at Cedarville University, Dr. Kimble’s academic interests include biblical and systematic theology, ecclesiology, preaching and teaching, discipleship and spiritual growth, and biblical and pastoral leadership.
Dr. Andy Giessman
Dr. Andy Giessman is executive director of the Addison’s Walk Center for Christian Studies, a non-profit organization located in Scranton, PA. Engaging the academic community at the crossroads of faith, reason, and culture, Addison’s Walk Institute is modeled after other Christian study centers around the world. Dr. Giessman holds advanced degrees in theology and philosophy, and is a Doctor of Ministry Philosophy student at Talbot School of Theology, a graduate program of Biola University. He has 20 years of ministry experience and is a sought-after speaker for youth groups throughout the United States, delivering radical messages that challenge students to think through the claims of Jesus Christ. He teaches philosophy at Marywood University in Scranton, and teaches theology and philosophy at the University of Scranton.
