Rhodes, II is Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Scofield Graduate School and Theological Seminary in Modesto, California. Dr. Rhodes (Pastor Kenny) also serves as the founding President of Scofield Seminary with Dr. Mal Couch serving as Vice-President. Pastor Kenny is Sr. Pastor of Mable Avenue Ministries, a ministry that oversees a number of church plants, para-church ministries and educational institutes around the world.  Dr. Rhodes is also the Host and Bible Teacher for the "Reason for Hope" TV program that airs locally in Modesto, CA as well as online.  He has been with M.A.M. since 2000 and is an ordained SBC pastor.  He has been in the ministry since 1991 and has two earned doctorates, the PhD and DRE. Pastor Kenny is married to the former Tami A Russell of Manteca, CA whose father, grandfather and great grandfather were all ministers of the Gospel.  Tami and Kenny were married April 16, 1994 and have three wonderful children, Tajiana (b. 1996), Micaela (b. 1998) and Kenneth III (b. 2000). Dr. Rhodes ministry philosophy is, "the heart cannot rejoice in what the mind rejects." He is committed to ministering to both the mind and heart of man. He is committed to Christian Apologetics and giving "an answer" to everyone. He is also involved and committed to the study of Hermeneutics, Calvinistic Dispensational Theology, and Creation Science. Pastor Kenny is part of a growing number of young theologians who have embraced true reformed theology and its implications for all doctrines of Scripture namely, that God elected Israel and their election is not subject to their sin "un-electing" them. Therefore, Israel is not replaced by the Church. This "new" historical  theological view has been coined "Calvinistic Evangelical Dispensationalism."  It is truly in the spirit of the premillennialism of the early church fathers, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Scofield, Chafer, Ryrie, S. Lewis Johnson, and so on. | more | less
