    Two Cent Tuesday – Influential Factors
    I was thinking yesterday about the process I went through that lead me to seminary.  It was a long  and drawn out process (here are some excerpts).  While there were MANY factors that influenced my decision to attend seminary, for me the Bible was most influential.  The more I read Paul’s explanations to Timothy and Titus about the role of the Elders...

    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...

    Seminary Comparison Matrix
    I got an message via the contact form this morning that is certainly worth sharing. A web developer, John, from Dallas Theological Seminary sent me a link to a cool little program they wrote that will compare a number of seminaries across various criteria. While it doesn’t have every seminary or every category of information you might want, it is a really cool...

So much of what you learn at seminary will greatly impact your ministry down the road (whether vocation or not). With so much riding...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Most important factor for deciding on a seminary
    I’ve blogged previously about one pastor’s opinion on how to decide on a seminary and, somewhat related, I’ve given my thoughts on what seminary is the best, so now it is your turn to weigh in… What do you think is the most important factor when trying to decide on a seminary? I know there are multiple factors, but which one do you give the most...

    Finding the Will of God
    Trying to decided if God is calling you to seminary or not can be difficult. While you could give the magic eight ball a try, there is probably a better way to determine what God is calling you to do. For me, I found Finding the Will of God by Dr. Bruce Waltke to be tremendously helpful. While I already knew a lot of what Dr. Waltke had to say, it was refreshing to...

    The Best Seminary
    A good number of people end up at goingtoseminary.com by searching some derivative of “best” and “seminary.” So, I figured I should take a moment and address the topic. Actually, the real motivation for this post was a thread I read on a forum today that started something like this: “What is the best seminary? Money isn’t a factor.” That...

    How I decided to quit my job to go to seminary
    Going to seminary has always been a desire of mine. Well, maybe not always… but for a long while. I’ve even tried my hand a taking seminary classes online. In the end it never panned out for me. So, when and how did everything change for me? Well, the story goes something like this: About 4 years ago my wife and I moved from the south to the not-quite-north....

    My Journey – What is going on?
    Ok friends, not giving any advice in this post… Just thinking out loud here… So, if you know about me then you know I am not currently attending seminary. I’ve been taking seminary classes virtually and was planning on transferring to a residential campus at the start of 2008. Through a series of events that I have not had time to share yet (though...
