Hello, brothers and sisters in Christ!

I'm nearing the end of my first full year of seminary. However, I'm in need of advice and prayer. Things have been difficult for me, theologically. The Spirit of God is now more strong than ever, but as I prepare to pastor in a church this coming fall, my soul is weary. I'm in Boston; the theology here . . . well, it's hard to talk about. I feel uncomfortable mentioning anything on a public thread, as some of the things I'm learning may offend some; I'd rather converse through private messaging; otherwise, I just need more prayer so that my soul does not become more weary.

Pretty familiar with the stuff you're likely encountering in Boston. I don't think I could do it there, though I know some good pastors who have gone to seminary there. Seminary shouldn't be a spiritual desert, but it often is for many. Praying that you may find a way to keep growing in your faith.
