Portrait of a Hero

One of my heroes is/was/continues-to-be Dr. Dennis F. Kinlaw. Have me tell you sometime about how he literally stopped me in my tracks while on my way to breakfast.

John Schmid is a Mennonite friend IRL who’s a full time singer (understatement) who has an amazing prison ministry (another understatement). He recently wrote this about Dr. Kinlaw and it’s with his gracious permission that I can share it with you here —

Dr. Dennis Kinlaw was the president of Asbury College when I went there.

Probably the most brilliant and deeply spiritual man that I knew personally.

He read the Bible in Hebrew and Greek and yet when he preached a child could understand him.

— You, too, would have loved Dr. Kinlaw.
