I have a deep desire for students to succeed in their chosen field and to have the ability to integrate that expertise with Christian ethics and responsibilities. We are God's stewards. We need to know how the balance of nature works and take a holistic approach to our responsibilities in our field. We should learn how our choices affect the environment. I believe that teaching Christian ethics regarding the environment will prepare students for better service to their fellow man and God's creation.
Nature is a relationship where every organism has a niche.
As stewards, we have a relationship with the Father and His creation. Every class I teach centers on that theme. These are just a few of the questions we ask. I have my students working closely with private ranchers in the area to help develop five-year management plans for their ranches. This gives students the ability to apply what they learn in the classroom to actual ranches and how they really work.
