Advice for those in a discernment stage about Seminary:
A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel. (Proverbs 1:5)

A bible verse to encourage those on the Seminary journey?
I ask God to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength! (Ephesians 1:17-19, The Message)

How do you experience the global church here in Wilmore? My FAVORITE time on campus every year is the last evening of Kingdom Conference. Students, staff, faculty and community members are all invited to the dining hall and encouraged to bring food and dress in traditional wear from their home countries. There is lots of eating, fellowship and live music by performers from all over the world. This is a beautiful snapshot of what the Kingdom might be like some day.

Encouragement for those wondering if Asbury is for them: I have found that when God wants you to be somewhere, He opens doors to make it possible for you. This was very true of my journey to Asbury Seminary. God opened doors for me I didn’t know existed to make my seminary journey happen and I am blessed to be here.

Why do you love working at Asbury Theological Seminary? I have repeatedly been blessed in this community to find spiritually engaged people who extend love and grace to those around them; people who take spiritual formation seriously and are willing to extend a hand as well as lift others up in prayer. What a joy it is to be in a place where praises can always be shared, and burdens do not have to be carried alone.
