His greatest joy in higher education is seeing his students discover their Divine Design and walking in their calling. He encourages students to exercise their voice through academic publication, research, and presentations. As a pastor and educator, he has a heart for Christian higher education: working with students to help them achieve their academic goals while also providing pastoral encouragement.

Dr. Henson is passionate about the local church and is actively involved in ministry, serving as a small group leader at his local church while frequently speaking in other venues throughout the year.
