His greatest joy in higher education is seeing his students discover and develop their Divine Design and walk in their calling. He encourages students to exercise their voices through academic publications, research, and presentations. As a pastor and educator, he has a heart for Christian higher education: working with students to help them achieve their academic goals and providing pastoral encouragement.

Dr. Henson is passionate about the local church and is actively involved in ministry. He serves as a staff pastor at his local church while speaking in other venues throughout the year. He has served as a mentor and coach to pastors, educators, and Christian leaders on six continents, and, as the opportunity arises, he serves as a consultant for organizations and churches.
