About Matt
Matt Coulter (he/him) has a passion for justice at a communal and sociopolitical level that informs his research and his attempts at living a life of love and grace. He is studying public theology under the guidance of Dr. Sebastian Kim with a focus on the intersection of atonement metaphors and social justice. Matt has a Master of Divinity from Fuller, a Master of Public Administration from the University of Wyoming, and seven years experience as a teaching and community pastor. He currently lives in Wyoming with his wife, two teenage sons, and the doofiest but most loving dog anyone could ask for. He enjoys drinking good coffee, reading good books, watching good football, laughing really hard with friends, and taking in the natural beauty of his home state as often as his dissertation work allows.
