Ian has been a university student and research professor of topics related to human biology, motivation, anxiety, and meaning in life for 40 years. Academic and real life learning from marriage and parenting three teens have deepened his gratitude for the brilliance of Hebrew and Christian stories to live by. After being raised by Baptist minister and research scientist parents and being both intrigued and baffled by religion for years, he has come to understand and experience Christian faith as inspiring, life-changing, intellectually credible, and multi-faith compatible. He laments the contemporary and historical harm perpetrated by some people in the name of Christianity, but also hopes to help counter inaccurate stereotypes that conflict with what many contemporary Canadian Christians are actually like.
