Mosaic Monday Chapel: A Man's Heart

Dave Merrill

Dr. Merrill and his wife first joined the 51ÂÜÀò community in 2006 where he began as a MDiv student, and earned his Master of Divinity in Spiritual Formation and later his Master of Theology. He completed his doctorate in theology at Durham University, in England. Dr. Merrill’s thesis dealt with the spiritual theology of Thomas Traherne; exploring how beauty and desire function as central components in his theological convictions and pastoral impulse. Dr. Merrill now teaches in a full time role at Talbot, teaching spiritual formation courses for Talbot’s core curriculum. A fun fact about Dr. Merrill is that at the age of 12 his biggest dream was to have a sweet mullet and play shortstop for the Oakland Athletics.
