Jason Hensley is a lifelong learner. He feels that knowledge is the foundation of everything; ultimately any decision that one makes stems from what they know.

Therefore, Jason Hensley has sought to learn as much as possible. He holds a PhD in Holocaust and Genocide studies, believing that by learning more about these topics, he would have a stronger basis to help bring humanity together through his studies and lectures. He has a DMin in Biblical Studies, trusting that by learning about both the Jewish Scriptures and the Christian Scriptures, he could help Christians gain an appreciation for their roots and their debt to Judaism. He has an MA in Biblical Languages, in order to get back to the original writings of the Bible. He has a second MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, furthering the focus on bringing disparate groups together. He has a third MA in Special Education, emphasizing how to make knowledge accessible to everyone.

His love for learning goes beyond his degrees. He is a fellow of the Michael LaPrade Holocaust Institute. He was a member of Civic Spirit’s teacher education cohort. He is a graduate of the Glass Leadership Institute of the Anti-Defamation League, a News Literacy Project Ambassador, and a Higher Education Ambassador for the Council on Foreign Relations. Over and over, Jason Hensley’s work has sought to advance knowledge, and in doing so, bring people together.
