Anyone else here with seminary plans?

[Apollo Celestio]

Just wondering, because I think this is the way in which the Lord has set for me. Not only because I'll enjoy it immensely (Learning about the Lord, who doesn't like that?) but also to be better equipped to serve him. I don't quite know which one yet. I've visited two (Both out of state) and I've been recommended to one by my pastor (he says it would fit someone like me) which is near Boston. Other than that, feel free to discuss where the Lord is leading you all, as we are all servants, and he's going to use us to his glory because we've given ourselves to him.

plans? no...not yet anyway..

dreams?...yes...

I'm really excited for you by the way

 

[Apollo Celestio]

Thanks a ton. Any prayers are greatly appreciated. And I better pray too, for the glory of God's kingdom. That's what this is all about!

 

[Marycita]

Most definitely

my first year of college was studying theology (among other things) at a christian university to be a missionary. ive since changed schools, but im still set to be a missionary. a different kind of missionary than i ever thought, too.

Hey man, what are the places you are choosing between? If you don't mind

 

[Apollo Celestio]

I visited Grace Theological Seminary in Indiana, and Grand Rapids Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The other one is called Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and it's in North Hamilton, Massachusetts. I get to visit it when I learn to drive. (XD) I don't think all my options are set out for me quite yet, but I'm praying.. >_<;

Eventually I would like to attend a seminary, but I want to attend Colorado Christian University to attain my degree in youth ministry first (with a minor in psychology).

 

[Apollo Celestio]

That is awesome. I'm taking some psychology now, I kind of wish I minor'd in it. So what kind of psychology do you get? I get a lot of evolution and faith vs reason in mine.

Right now since I'm not in college due to my finances, I'm doing some freelance study on the history of psychology, as well as the basic concepts and vocabulary. I find that doing an overview study of a subject before digging deeper helps me to understand much of the material I read later.

As for hands on studies, I have been talking to as many people as possible and studying interactions between people. I call it "people watching".

 

[ryanb6]

Cool man. I'll have to look those places up.

 

[Apollo Celestio]

I could PM you the websites if you want. I got to sit in on a class and I took like 15 pages of notes at Grand Rapids. The guy actually has some sermons and he's pretty good. I could give you that link too if you want.

 

[Balugon]

Not i. I feel called to be a middle school teacher, so that is where ive been heading. But im still getting plenty of ministry training thru church and various other sources, heh.

 

[Quoth]

I want to go to seminary essentially for all the "pastoral know-how". I still intend to hit the streets and make something out of street preaching.

 

[ryanb6]

Yea man, hit me up

 

[Blank123]

i've thought about before, not because i have any plans to become a pastor or anything like that but i love learning about God, theology, and the Bible. and who knows maybe at some point down the road i still will but for the forseeable future i think God leading me down a different path

Great. From what I read, I really recommend it.

God still has me on the path that I am on right now.

One, to be an artisan.
Two, to expose the satanic corruption of our world, and to bring it to justice.

 

[JonMiller]

I thought it would be cool, but that isn't my skills (people...).

I do think about writing a book sometimes though. It would be after my thesis is completed (hopefully in <2 months).

[Apollo Celestio]

People skills aren't really my department either. I was thinking I'd get some, but play the more introverted roles whenever possible.

 

[Mikeb85]

Seminary plans? Nah.

I have however contemplated becoming a monastic...
