    How Long Should a Pastor Commit to a Local Church?
    At one point in the past, I posed the question on my blog of how long a pastor should remain with one church.  Every now and then I look back at the most thoughtful response I received to the question (which came from an Orthodox priest) and spend some time thinking about it.  He said, I would generally suggest what is often the norm in Orthodoxy, which is that a...

    Learning in Seminary – Two Cent Tuesday
    As we are beginning a new semester of classes, I have been reflecting on what I have learned during the first three semesters and where that learning has taken place.  Personally, I have learned more outside of the classroom than I have inside.  That is not to say that I have not learned in class.  What I am saying is that the Lord has used events outside the...

    Seminary Debt – Two Cent Tuesday
    For the past several months I have been “winging” it with our finances.  This was somewhat intentional since we’ve been in a crazy transitional period and tracking everything was just too complicated at the time. Rather than actually look at our budget, where we’re spending, how much we’re spending, and what we’re spending on, I’ve...

    Book Reviews at GtS – Two Cent Tuesday
    It has been a couple months since we have had the Book Review take over here at Going to Seminary.  We have had reviews on Bibles, magazines and obviously books.  Now, we would like to know what you think of the reviews. As we leave 2008 and head into 2009, we at GtS are wanting to better serve you, the reader.  Without you Going to Seminary would not be possible. ...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Worst Grade in Semianry
    I admit… I got a D- in Systematic Theology III.  Now, I can rattle off my list of excuses, but I think I shall spare you the details as the humiliation is probably good for building my character. The truth of the matter is that I am really embarrassed by the grade.  Despite my constant writing about how unimportant grades are in seminary, the truth is they...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Christmas Break
    Well, for the most part everyone is finished up with the semester.  While a few of you might be putting the last touches on a paper or two, the rest of the seminary world is settling in for the holiday break.  Which leads to the question, “What is the best way to spend your holiday break?” With just over a month off for most of you, what do you think...

Also, in the comment section, drop a line or two and let us know why you do or don’t get stressed? Any tips or advice...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Seminary Forum
    During the last redesign of Going to Seminary I installed a seminary forum. I thought it was going to be a great idea. Seminarians from all over the globe could come to one spot and have discussions and dialogues (and an occasional monologue) about things related to seminary. I created a section for seminarians to bounce paper ideas off one another, discuss jobs, talk...
