He trains pastors and ministry leaders to contend for the faith. Shining the healing light of Christ into dark places, he shares the Good News of Jesus in unique unreached forums. He strategically works to ensure the next generation may do so free of persecution. From a local township board to the United States Supreme Court, Prof. Wagner speaks truth on behalf of the persecuted and most vulnerable. Championing the cause of the defenseless and oppressed, he fights for freedom of religion in public forums around the globe. He promotes good governance and speaks of Jesus in the public square. Because Jesus calls us to be Salt and Light in the world, he wants to see nations transform, darkness dissolve, and the brokenhearted heal.
