Teaching Philosophy
My philosophy is to do. Talk a little bit, tear down bad assumptions, and then get to work. Just start making and creating. Then do it again and keep getting better and less precious.
Statement of Faith
Darren came to faith in his mid-20s after reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. He was fortunate to be mentored for the next 10 years by Dave Bahnsen (son of the greatest apologist who ever lived, Greg Bahnsen), Greg Koukl (Stand to Reason Ministries), and Douglas Wilson (pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho). He is currently a member in good standing at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho.
