Walt Russell

It just occurred to me that I have spent almost a third of my life teaching at Talbot! So when I say that I am even more excited about who we are as a school today than when I started, it is a huge statement. We do a great job of preparing pastors, Christian educators, various Christian ministry folks, philosophers, and especially expositors of the Bible.
