  • Free Kindles for seminary students
    Have you thought about sharing your seminary journey with the world? Perhaps you are interested in pontificating about how seminary could be better, or have questions that you’re not finding answers to regarding your seminary journey. Maybe you already have a blog, but not the readership you’d like to have. Now is your chance to build readership, pontificate about...

  • Two Cent Tuesday – To Twitter or Not to Twitter
    It would seem that Twitter is the new cool thing these days. You can’t get very far on the blog-o-sphere without people talking about twitter. Pastors twitter, Missiologists twitters, Professional Bloggers Twitter, Moms Twitter (not mine, of course…) Twitter is everywhere… Up until now I’ve stayed away from Twitter because, seriously, do I really...

  • Writer Introduction – Terry Delaney
    Today we continue our writer introductions with Terry Delaney. Terry, how did you come to know the Lord? The short, short version is that one of my close friends’ girlfriends would not shut her mouth about going to her church for this play. In order to shut her up, we decided we would go to the play. It was there that God showed me that I was not what I thought...

  • Writer Introduction – Jake Belder
    Today we get to know Jake Belder a little better: Jake, how did you come to know the Lord? I cannot point to a specific moment of conversion, as I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home, by parents who loved and served the Lord with all their heart.  The example they set for us was a great inspiration.  There was, however, a period in my mid-teens when I came...

  • Wasting Seminary
    I’ve been meaning to point this out ever since it was posted, but so much has been going on I haven’t had the time.  So, if you haven’t already seen it by now, check out Derek’s list of 45 Ways to Waste Your Theological Education. I was digging #’s 2, 19, 20, 25, 36, 45 and, for those interested, Terry will be tackling #20 in a upcoming...

  • Writer Introduction – Jeff Patterson
    A couple days ago I introduced you to Kari Patterson.  Today, we’ll meet her husband Jeff: Jeff, how did you come to know the Lord? God is so good. I grew up in a mainline Protestant denomination and probably heard the Gospel at some point, was an altar boy, and overall a “good” kid, but I didn’t know Christ, wasn’t aware of my own depravity,...

  • Seminary Writers Wanted
    The semester is winding down and summer “break” is approaching. On my to-do list this summer is launch goingtoseminary.com version 2.0.  One aspect of version 2.0 I am really looking forward to is the addition of more writers.  As the comment sections will show, I am not the end-all of seminary information.  There are many seminary students out there...

  • Selecting a Seminary – Interview Current Students
    I realized that it has been a while since I’ve written a post for all you out there who are considering seminary. Since the summer is approaching and there are a number of you applying and making final decisions about the fall, I thought I’d throw out an idea I was thinking about the other day… namely, interviewing current students. Thanks to the wonders...
