Jon Satko

From childhood, I always believed that there was a Creator. It was always clear to me that the universe had a Designer, and that belief grew as I learned more and more about the physical universe. I learned about my need to trust Jesus as my Savior when I was a freshman in college; a good friend in my dorm showed me that trusting in Jesus is the only way to have a right relationship with God. Through my adult life, I have studied God’s Word, and have grown in my trust and relationship with Him. As a student of physics (particularly astrophysics and nuclear physics), I have enjoyed learning about His amazing universe. As a professor of physics and astronomy, I love showing students His amazing universe.
