His doctoral project explores The Dignity of the Lowly in the Gospel of Matthew. He contributes to theological discourse through publications on narrative crises, religious education dynamics, and ethical theology, often analyzing intersections of technology, trauma, and African hermeneutics. Recent work critiques neoliberalism in church settings and reimagines Lukan Christmas narratives.
Active in academic societies including the Rudolf Bultmann Society for Hermeneutic Theology and the Lutheran Liturgical Conference, he has held a doctoral scholarship (ELKB, 2020–2021) and been ordained since 2018. His teaching and writing increasingly address digital humanities, pastoral responses to scarcity, and interdisciplinary exegesis.
