    Summer Intensive
    Well, today I start a week of a 9-5 class called Introduction to Pastoral and Theological Studies.  I’ll write a post later in the week to give some of my thoughts on 1 week intensives, but for now I just wanted to comment on how amazing my fellow classmates are in this class. So, one guy is a missionary in Turkey whose pastor is beat and stabbed on a regular...

    Get To Know Your Seminary Professors
    Before I came to seminary, I asked some men who have been in the pastorate for some years and have graduated seminary some advice on what I should look for and accomplish while I am in seminary. Of the many tips I was given, one of those tips was Find the professor(s) with whom God desires to unite you in a special way. Most professors pour themselves into students...

    Vintage Hypocrite
    Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. James 5:16a Well… I feel dirty just saying it… I took my laptop to class today. Despite my outspoken advocacy of Vintage Notes, I broke down and took the mac to campus. Now, before you break out the stones and begin tossing them at me, allow me to give my reasoning: Access...

    Seminary Studies and Devotional Time
    Lots of Christians have a “devotional time” or something like that… a time that is set aside daily to study God’s word, pray, and worship. Me, I try to do it first thing in the morning. Starting my day focusing on God and his word helps me to get going in the right direction from the get-go. While at orientation the other day, one of the speakers...

    And so it begins…
    So, I just returned home from my first official, residential, seminary class. Before the class started I was just sitting there, taking it all in… 6 years to get here… wow! So, the class was great. The 3 hours FLEW by. While the material wasn’t the most interesting content I couldn’t help but smile and try to suck everything I could out of the...

    5 Lessons I Learnd in Study Hall That Will Help in Seminary
    When I was in High School I occasionally got lunch detention (aka. Study Hall). Looking back, I couldn’t tell you what I did… but I’m sure I deserved it. That said, I will admit that it wasn’t really punishment. I mean, I got 30 minutes of peace and quiet to finish all my homework… then when I got out, there was no waiting in the lunch...

    he(B+)rew
    As you may or may not know, I recently completed a 2 week intensive for Hebrew 1. Today I got my grades and was very pleased with my B+. The grade however got me to thinking… do all seminaries have the same grading scale? My B+ was a 91-93… I remember in undergrad (oh, so long ago) that 90-100 was an A… Not anymore… So, here is my seminary’s...

    Vintage notes
    I love technology. In particular, I love computers. In more particular, I love macs. That said, I think it might be time to unplug the drug and start taking notes the old fashioned way… with pen and paper. “Crazy” you say. “Next you’ll suggest we use a quill and ink… or maybe we should go back to stone tablets!” Well, before...
