I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on
October 9, 1966; the fourth and final child
to Dr. Robert and Lois Frogge. At the time
of his death in 1969, my father was a
professor at the University of Wisconsin,
Milwaukee. The following summer my
family returned to Lincoln, Nebraska,
where my parents had met and lived
earlier in their marriage. I grew up at First
Christian Church of Lincoln where I was
active in every aspect of the local and
regional church. During high school, I
had the opportunity to attend the
International Affairs Seminary, a trip to
New York and Washington, D.C., where I
was confronted for the first time with
issues of social injustice. Ten years
later, I would go as a sponsor on that
same trip.
During college at Phillips University, I took
advantage of a semester study program
in Sweden. Along with this wonderful
educational opportunity, I was able to
spend time traveling in southern Europe
and two weeks in the Soviet Union. The
experience with young Soviet students
opened my eyes to the humanity of those
that had been demonized. It was a good
lesson to always look deeper than the
labels used to define and discredit.
After graduating from Christian
Theological Seminary in 1993, I moved to
Kansas City to take my first full time
ministry position. While in Kansas City, I
met my wife, Donna. She was born in
Springfield, Missouri, and grew-up in
Harrison, Arkansas...

A Call to Ministry
I love the story of Saul’s
conversion found in the ninth
chapter of Acts. The imagery and
power found within the story is
brimming with potential for
preaching and teaching. A
persecutor of the church was
humbled physically and spiritually
by the voice of the living Christ,
and Saul turned from his old way
and toward God. Many people
have an expectation that their
minister had a similar experience
when s/he was called to ministry.
