He has also created and taught courses at Valor in Old Testament, New Testament, English composition, Christian ethics, theology and culture, family ministry and American government.

The son, grandson, husband and uncle of educators, his love of teaching grew from opportunities to work as a corporate trainer and facilitator and to serve as an adult Sunday-school teacher and small-group facilitator in the Church.

Prof. Youngkin is a past officer and committee chairman of local chapters of the Public Relations Society of America and the International Association of Business Communicators. He is ordained through the City Harvest Network and received professional accreditation from the Public Relations Society of America in 1988. He was active in prison ministry for more than 20 years, including leadership roles in Kairos Prison Ministry of Ohio and as leader and teacher of World Harvest Church’s outreach at Marion Correctional Institution.

Declaration Press published his first book, Make Like Lazarus: A Biblical Perspective of Divorce and Remarriage, in 2019. He’s also been published online in Monday Morning Quarterback, a Sports Illustrated website, and the Sports Spectrum devotional website.

A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., and long-time resident of Marysville, Ohio, Prof. Youngkin married the former Nancy Lynn Broadwell of Centerville, Ohio, in 1998. They live in Pickerington, Ohio, with their three sons.
