    Don Whitney
    Biography

    Don Whitney has been Professor of


    Biblical Spirituality and Associate
    Dean at The Southern Baptist Theo-
    logical Seminary in Louisville, KY since
    2005. Before that, he held a similar
    position (the first such position in the
    six Southern Baptist seminaries) at Midwestern Baptist Theological
    Seminary in Kansas City, MO, for ten years. He is the founder and
    president of The Center for Biblical Spirituality.

    Don grew up in Osceola, Arkansas where he came to believe in


    Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He was active in sports throughout
    high school and college, and worked in the radio station his dad
    managed.

    After graduating from Arkansas State University, Don planned to


    finish law school and pursue a career in sportscasting. While at the
    University of Arkansas School of Law, he sensed Gods call to
    preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He then enrolled at Southwest-
    ern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, graduating
    with a Master of Divinity degree in 1979. In 1987, Don completed

    a Doctor of Ministry degree at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in


    Deerfield, Illinois, and later a Ph.D. in theology at the University of
    the Free State in South Africa.

    Prior to his ministry as a seminary professor, Don was pastor of Glen-


    field Baptist Church in Glen Ellyn, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), for
    almost fifteen years. Altogether, he has served local churches in
    pastoral ministry for twenty-four years.

    He is the author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life (Nav-


    Press, 1991; 2014), which has a companion discussion guide. He
    has also written How Can I Be Sure Im a Christian? (NavPress,
    1994), Spiritual Disciplines within the Church (Moody Press,
    1996), Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health (NavPress,
    2001), Simplify Your Spiritual Life (NavPress, 2003), Praying the Bi-
    ble (Crossway 2015), and Family Worship (2006; and Crossway
    2016). His hobby is restoring and using old fountain pens.

    Don lives with his wife Caffy in their home near Louisville. She reg-
    ularly teaches a class for seminary wives, and works from their
    home as an artist, muralist, and illustrator. The Whitneys have a
    married daughter, Laurelen, and a grandson.
