Get to Know Your Teacher: Pastor Josh
Get to Know Your Teacher: Fun Facts About Your Science Shepherd Teacher, Part 2
The upsides of video classes are plentiful. You can take your teacher with you wherever you go, watch your classes on your schedule, pause in the middle of a class and even rewatch a class if you need to review. Video classes also don’t make much mess or clutter. And if you’re a quick listener, you might even be able to get through your classes speedily by playing them at, say, 1.5 speed!
That said, you don’t get to interact with your teachers and get to know them, which is a shame when your teachers are as interesting as our Science Shepherd teachers! We’re helping solve this problem by interviewing our teachers and sharing with you some fun facts about each one.
For this post, we interviewed Pastor Josh Watson who teaches our biblical archaeology and astronomy courses, Unearthing the Bible and Astronomy: God's Universe. Read below to get to know him a bit better.

Many thanks to Josh Watson for answering our questions! A fun fact about Josh that didn’t make it into this interview is that he recently authored a children’s book called The ABC Bible! This rhyming book takes you from A to Z following Bible history, so you get to know not only the ABCs but also important people and themes in the Bible. It’s the kind of book that can be enjoyed by young and old and everyone in the middle! To find out more, check out The ABC Bible on Amazon. You can also get a coloring book version. Big congratulations to Josh from all of us here at Science Shepherd!
In part 1 of our Get to Know Your Teacher series, we interviewed Dr. Scott Hardin. To get to know fun facts about Dr. Hardin, check out that post here.
