Where Are They Now? RTS Charlotte Alumnus Matt Howell
Last week I mentioned that I am starting a new series of blog interviews entitled Where Are They Now?, highlighting some of our alumni over the years. I ask each alumnus a series of questions that show how God is at work in their lives and in their ministries (for the prior installment see here).
This installment will focus on Matt Howell (class of 2oo9), RUF minister at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville), and formerly RUF minister at Appalachian State. During his time in Charlotte, Matt was my teaching assistant and did a fantastic job (he also wrote a hilarious song about me for the senior banquet, but … Continue reading...

One of the great blessings of being a part of a seminary like RTS Charlotte is that I get to see, over the course of many years, how God uses our graduates in special ways throughout the globe. Over the past 13 years, it has not only been a joy to teach these students, but it has been a joy to watch these students become faithful laborers in the vineyard.

Mark Dever Giving the Harold O.J. Brown Lectures at RTS Charlotte
Two years ago we began our annual Harold O.J. Brown lecture series here at RTS Charlotte. This lecture series honors Dr. Brown not only because he was a faculty member here in Charlotte for the final decade of his career (and much loved by the students), but because of his larger and wider impact one evangelicalism in the United States. In addition to publishing many important books, Dr. Brown (along with C. Everett Koop) had a tremendous influence on the pro-life movement in the United States.
When Dr. Brown passed away in 2007, I gave an interview to Christianity Today about his career and legacy. See here for that interview … Continue reading...
