Mr. Johnson
Hello, I’m Eric Johnson and I’m honored to teach 9th & 10th Grade History and Bible at Allegiant Academy. I am a husband, a father of four, and my son Cruz is a student at Allegiant. I own two companies: a software business and a consulting and coaching company. Through my work, I’ve been teaching and coaching staff and clients for more than 20 years. I look forward to bringing that experience to bear in the classroom!
I’ve always been a history buff, which has served me well as a student of the Bible. I believe that understanding historical context brings a much deeper understanding of scripture. Though Bible, Ancient History and World History may seem “boring” to the typical teenager, I think they are exciting and fascinating subjects, and I hope to bring that passion to the students. I don’t want them to view history as just memorizing names and dates, but rather to see people just like you and me wrestling with the same challenges we are today. I also want them to assess information they are receiving logically, challenging premises that are incongruent with Biblical truth and observational reality.
In 9th grade we will read the entire Old Testament, while also studying the history and literature of the ancient world! In 10th grade we will read the entire New Testament and study world history from Rome to the current day. It’s a huge responsibility and I do not take it lightly. That said, I can’t wait to dive into it with your children helping to equip them to thrive in this world and in the Kingdom.
