Seminary Meme

Bri­an just tagged me with this sem­i­nary ques­tion­naire. As I’ve men­tioned before, sem­i­nary is great prepa­ra­tion for min­istry. In fact, I think the ide­al min­istry tra­jec­to­ry is for some­one to go a sec­u­lar uni­ver­si­ty for their under­grad and then to get sem­i­nary train­ing. This is more com­mon than many sup­pose — rough­ly half the stu­dents at my sem­i­nary came from sec­u­lar uni­ver­si­ties.

Any­way, here’s the meme:

This Sem­i­nary Meme is part of a com­pe­ti­tion spon­sored by Going to Sem­i­nary and Eisen­brauns. If you’d like to be entered, sim­ply answer the 7 ques­tions below and tag 5 oth­er peo­ple. You’ll also need to post this para­graph (links includ­ed) with your answers as the links will be tracked back to your blog and will count as your “entry” into the com­pe­ti­tion. On April 30th, 2008, one blog­ger will be select­ed at ran­dom to win a $100 gift cer­tifi­cate to the Eisen­brauns online book­store.

  1. Where did you attend sem­i­nary?

    The Assem­blies of God The­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary

  2. What class do you think has most impact­ed your spir­i­tu­al life?

    Effec­tive Lead­er­ship with Mel Ming.

  3. What sem­i­nary pro­fes­sor was most influ­en­tial while in sem­i­nary?

    Tough call. Remark­ably tough. Every prof I had at AGTS rocked my world one way or anoth­er.

  4. What was the great­est chal­lenge you faced in sem­i­nary?

    Not coast­ing.

  5. What was the great­est reward you expe­ri­enced in sem­i­nary?

    Grad­u­at­ing.

  6. What did you do after sem­i­nary?

    The same thing I did while I was in sem­i­nary — I min­is­tered to stu­dents at sec­u­lar uni­ver­si­ties.

  7. While in sem­i­nary, how many times were asked what you’d do after grad­u­at­ing?

    Almost nev­er — I telegraphed my inten­tions pret­ty clear­ly.

I’m sup­posed to tag five peo­ple. The amaz­ing Mr. Zick­afoose has not par­tic­i­pat­ed, and I don’t think Earl Creps

has either. Nor have Lane Dou­glas down­load mon­key shines online nor George P. Wood nor Mark Bat­ter­son. Pre­dic­tion: prob­a­bil­i­ty of any of them par­tic­i­pat­ing is less than 5%.trade down­load

  1. so no par­tic­u­lar prof you con­nect­ed with? I too did the sec­u­lar uni­ver­si­ty — sem­i­nary route and I agree with you, that is a good one to take — espe­cial­ly if one is a part of a XA group!

  2. Actu­al­ly, I con­nect­ed with too many of them. I’m scared that if I start­ed to list one I’d leave off some­one cru­cial to my devel­op­ment. Pret­ty much every prof there was huge for me and I’d glad­ly sit down for lunch with any of them today.
