Speakers Bureau

Dr. Bob Stallman is a member of Northwest University's Speakers Bureau and is available to address your church group or organization.

Dr. Stallman has done significant preaching in local churches. He has spoken on prayer and the Psalms at a men's retreat and has presented a series of messages on worship in the adult sessions of a Bible camp.

In addition to preaching and teaching on biblical books and topics, Dr. Stallman teaches Biblical Hebrew in local churches on an enrichment (not for credit) basis. “Hebrew in a Week” is a fun and meaningful way to learn Biblical Hebrew, and no prior experience with the language is needed. Bob’s passion for teaching people to read Biblical Hebrew has led him into the field of Second Language Acquisition. He has served on an international team of scholars (known as the COHELET project) who developed and field tested new curriculum. Bob makes Biblical Hebrew accessible with a wide variety of teaching tools and approaches. The result is not only fun and effective, but spiritually enriching as well.
