Dwight Olney
grew up in Kitchener, Ontario, as the son of a piano tuner. At fifteen, he
moved to Alberta when his father returned to his pastoral calling by taking a
church in the small northern community of Lac La Biche. After high school,
Dwight trained to become a secondary school teacher, focusing on history and
mathematics. Currently, he works as an in-school administrator for the Prairie
South School Division in southern Saskatchewan. All told, Dwight has spent
almost thirty years in the field of education.
He has studied theology (Briercrest College), history (University of Waterloo), education (Queen’s University), and administration (Jones International University). Dwight loves teaching, preaching, trumpet-playing, carpentry, recreational hockey, and coaching basketball. He has three grown children and lives with his patient and understanding wife, Jeanette, in Caronport, Saskatchewan.
Throughout his adult life, Dwight has enjoyed studying and teaching the Bible as an adult Sunday school teacher, a preacher, and a principal of a private Christian high school. His fondest area of interest is practical theology and he loves to challenge people to think in new ways, by recognizing faulty human thought lines and replacing them with God-like thinking.
