Today’s featured guest is Dr. Craig Hendrickson.

After retiring from an eleven-year career in the Canadian Football League in 2001, Dr. Craig Hendrickson spent sixteen years in full-time ministry in Long Beach-California, Brooklyn-New York, and here in Chicago as well. His service in church settings included time as an assistant and lead pastor, and as a district leader in the Free Methodist Church. He has also served as an adjunct professor for Fuller Theological Seminary and North Park University, and as a trainer and leadership partner with the Arrow Leadership Program. His passion is equipping current and future leaders to engage in multicultural and missional ministry, and his research interests center on bringing these distinct disciplines together. His dream is to see a network of leaders working toward spiritual transformation, racial healing, and economic justice in diverse urban communities across North America through multiethnic ministry. Dr. Hendrickson has a BA in Sociology from the University of Minnesota, a Master of Divinity from Regent College, a Master of Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary, and a PhD in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary focusing on missionary leadership and intercultural ministry.
