Honor to be trained under his tutelage

[Trinity Evangelical Divinity School @TEDS]

Dr. Tite Tiénou, the Tite Tiénou Chair of Global Theology and World Christianity, Research Professor of Theology of Mission, and Dean Emeritus of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS), received the honorific title of Chevalier de l'Ordre de l'Étalon from the government of Burkina Faso in April 2025.

Dr. Tiénou received this distinguished honor alongside four members of the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Burkina Faso.

“Dr. Tienou is widely recognized as one of evangelicalism's leading theologians and missiologists whose influence spans the globe,” says Dr. Craig Ott, Professor of Mission and Intercultural Studies at TEDS. “It is most fitting that his country of origin has honored him with this significant award.”

The title, which translates to “Knight of the Order of the Stallion,” is the highest honorary distinction in Burkina Faso. The award recognizes personal merit and eminent civil or military service to the nation, according to the website for the Grand Chancellery of the Burkinabe Orders.

Dr. David Pao, Dean and Professor of New Testament at TEDS, said, “Dr. Tite Tiénou is a distinguished global theologian whose influence extends well beyond the academy. This honor further affirms his vital contributions in the public square. TEDS is proud to count Dr. Tiénou among our own.”

2/ A common thread is that humanity is marked but innate neediness leading to mutuality. Have a listen at these or the most recent bonus episode with stories of living with disability

In light of conversations in our country about disabilities as something to eliminate, let me share some conversation on the #BlindFaith podcast as we wrestle with what it means to be human. see below 1/

@LondonHatch I’m not happy the Spurs could do all the heavy lifting in the negotiations. But let’s have a fun season. It’s off to a good start.

[Andy Opie @andyopie]

Each one was my favorite for different reasons. But I sure enjoyed this one so very much.

[Lisa Powell @LisaDawnPowell]

@andyopie I’ve really enjoyed these interviews, Andy! You’ve fostered some insightful and interesting conversations. This particular episode is my favorite. Beautiful! What a gift.

[Andy Opie @andyopie]

@LisaDawnPowell Thank you so very much. They were fun for me as well.

@LisaDawnPowell It was fabulous hearing your story

[Andy Opie @andyopie]

That’s what I loved most about this conversation. It didn’t go where we expected. It was organic. Authentic.

[Lisa Powell @LisaDawnPowell]

It was a pleasure to talk with Andy and co. On the Blind Faith podcast. Took some unexpected turns and I think I ended up giving testimony! A joy to share about my faith, disability, and God’s faithfulness.
