Finished midterms a couple of weeks ago…. very pleased to say that I did well, for the most part. I did have a little snafu with my Theology exam. I don’t k’m now what it is with this prof, but I struggle with his inconsistency and lack of clarity. Frustrating! The good thing, though, is […]
Well… two months into my first semester in Seminary, and so far… so good! It has most definitely been challenging! I talk regulary to one of my close friends (he graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary some years ago), and he just laughs… remembering “those days” when all he did was study. Yeah… that’s me. EVERY […]
Finished the 2nd week of my 1st semester of Seminary! First week was rough, lol… last week was a tad better, thankfully. 😊 THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE is time-management… just getting usedto the amount of reading content to study/wrestle with. But, boy, do I love it! Just to be able to “cocoon” myself and lean into […]
David Platt’s ‘Counter Culture’ is one of the textbooks for my Ethics class. Very good, so far… I love how he explains the Tree of the Knowledge of Good/Evil, and how we – when reading the passage in Genesis 3 – confuse God’s intent in comanding Adam/Eve not to eat from the tree: His command […]
Thankful for the gracious – and patient – brothers dand aisters of Severna Park Naptist.Church. 🙂 Preached my 2nd of two Sundays today… BUT… had an “ocular snafu.” Read that, “an eye glitch.” 😁 Happened right at the beginning of my message… all of a sudden, my eyes just went totally hazy. Like really, REALLY […]
Took the 1st quiz of my Seminary experience… from my Ethics class. I’m pretty sure I aced it, cuz… it was only 3 questions! 🤭 And the 3rd one was “Did you complete all the assigned reading?” 😂🤣 I know the rest won’t be like this, but I have learned to embrace grace wherever God […]
Well… here we go! 4 days and counting before classes officially “begin” at Southeastern Baptist Seminary (SEBTS)! I say “officially begin,” because – being an Online student – I am already preparing for Week 1 of classes… I have at least 3 quizzes next week, so tons of reading already. I’m already feeling the awkwardness […]
One of the most impressive things I have seen with some of the more successful Millennial church planters is their “love for the game.” Like professional athletes who hone their craft, they are passionate about what they do, have very innovative ways of doing it, and seem to be relentless in their pursuit of turning […]
Had breakfast with a local pastor last week, and we were talking about my leadership training/coaching…. and after some discussion, he asked me this question: “What do you think is the biggest leadership problem in the Church?” I almost didn’t have to think about it, because I have had this discussion many times. “The problem […]
