Dr. Roger C. S. Erdvig is an author, speaker, and scholar who finds his greatest joy in helping to develop emerging leaders.
Roger’s life purpose is to equip those who are on the front lines of raising up the next generation of culture-shaping leaders. He is the quintessential coach— drawing out the best in others while helping them to fulfill their mission.
Married to Lori for over 30 years, Roger is dad to five children and grandfather to four. The Erdvig household has always been marked by hospitality and a strong emphasis on worldview development for each member of the family— and their guests. Whether it was listening to podcasts together, reading and discussing great books, or using the Truth Project for family devotions, Roger and Lori have sought to immerse themselves and their kids in a Biblical worldview.
Roger has diverse leadership and coaching experience. He has served as a pastor, a lead carpenter in his dad’s construction company, the co-founder of one of the first Christian coach training organizations, an educational leader, and a university professor. Where ever he has led, taught, or coached, he has left a legacy of individuals who have been equipped and challenged to new levels of influence.
As a writer, Roger was co-author of the first book on service-learning for Christian schools. Most recently, he has written a watershed book for Christian schools that challenges the status quo and encourages teachers and leaders to create learning environments immersed in a Biblical worldview. He has also written several short stories that entertain while compellingly expressing Biblical worldview truths.
Roger serves as Senior Director of Worldview Education at Summit Ministries, the premiere Biblical worldview training organization in the US. His role with Summit involves speaking and writing to support and equip schools, churches, parents, and Christian universities as they endeavor to cultivate a Biblical worldview in the emerging generations.
An active scholar, Roger was recently appointed to the Scholars Advisory Board of the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center (FLDC) in Philadelphia. In that capacity, he has influence on the research, exhibits, and educational programs which explore the deep connection between faith and the pursuit of liberty throughout American history.
