“Fear Not” (C07: Baptism of the Lord)

Randy Ridenour

Dr. Ridenour explores the prophet Isaiah’s words to the people of Judah, as they face a fearful future. However, Ridenour also gives us the assurance of God’s presence by looking of Jesus’ baptism.

Dr. Randy Ridenour is professor of philosophy at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, OK. He joined the OBU faculty in 2000, the same year he completed a Ph.D. degree from the University of Oklahoma. The Copan, Oklahoma native was an infantry soldier before completing his college degree. He later served as a chaplain’s assistant before being commissioned as a chaplain with the Army Reserve. He served in active duty in 2003 and 2004, stationed at Fort Hood in Texas, supporting the soldiers and families of the 4th Infantry Division during their deployment to Iraq. He has presented papers at philosophy conferences and meetings in the mid-South and Midwest. Ridenour serves as a supply preacher in churches around the state.
