Introducing Our Inaugural Senior Fellows, Part II
Honoring wisdom
Across decades of leadership, certain individuals emerge whose influence is shaped not only by what they have built, but by the wisdom they have gained along the way. These are leaders who carry both experience and humility—people who have spent years shaping organizations, ideas, and communities, and who now feel a growing responsibility to invest that wisdom in others.
Today, we’re honored to introduce the final two members of our inaugural group of Access Ventures Senior Fellows who join Dr. Steve Garber and Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing.
Dr. Anthony Bradley
Anthony Bradley is a theologian, author, and cultural analyst serving as a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Acton Institute and Research Professor of Interdisciplinary and Theological Studies at Kuyper College. Previously, he was Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Human Flourishing at The King's College, and Theologian-In-Residence at Redeemer Presbyterian Church—Lincoln Square.
Dr. Bradley's work centers on rebuilding fatherhood, reforming fraternity culture, and restoring moral formation among men and boys. He lectures at colleges, universities, businesses, and churches across the United States and abroad, equipping institutions to address what he calls "America's boy-to-man crisis" through faith, community, and evidence-based programs. His research explores how theology and social science together can renew the institutions that form men—fathers, fraternities, and churches—so that communities may flourish.
His writings have appeared in Christianity Today, World Magazine, The Washington Examiner, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and Al Jazeera, among others. A frequent media commentator, he has been featured on C-SPAN, CNN, Fox News, and NPR.
Dr. Bradley has published of thirteen books, including Liberating Black Theology (2010), Aliens In The Promised Land (2013), Heroic Fraternities (2023), God At Work (2025), and The Fatherhood Effect (2026)
He holds a B.S. from Clemson University, an M.Div. from Covenant Theological Seminary, an M.A. in Ethics and Society from Fordham University, and a Ph.D. from Westminster Theological Seminary.
Dr. David bennett
Dr. David Bennett is a theologian, speaker, and author whose work engages questions of faith, ethics, identity, and discipleship in contemporary culture. He completed his doctorate at the University of Oxford, where he is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Systematic Theology and Christian Ethics in the Faculty of Theology and Religion, and co-founder and lead of the Augustinian Resemblances Project, as well as an Associate Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall.
Originally from Sydney, Australia, Dr. Bennett is the author of the acclaimed memoir A War of Loves, which recounts his journey from atheistic activism to Christian faith. His forthcoming academic monograph with T&T Clark explores the theology of desire through the writings of Augustine and contemporary ethical conversation, and his next book, Beyond Compromise, is forthcoming with Tyndale House. Across his scholarship and public engagement, Dr. Bennett asks what it means for human beings to flourish — drawing on biblical theology, patristic thought, and the lived realities of discipleship in the modern world.
Looking Ahead
The Access Ventures Senior Fellows Program is intentionally small and relational. Over time, we will continue to invite a limited number of leaders whose lives and work embody the kind of influence we hope to see multiplied. These are leaders who finish well, steward power wisely, and remain curious, generous, and grounded.
Keep Exploring
At the midpoint of the Access Ventures Fellowship, six Fellows gathered in Miami for a three day convening, designed to pause the pace of building and re-anchor the leaders doing it. The gathering marked a shift in the Fellowship’s rhythm from early formation and project framing, toward deeper clarity, resilience, and long term leadership orientation.
