He continues to consult on cold-case investigations while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. He is also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola University and a faculty member at Summit Ministries. J.

He eventually earned a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.
