It struck me the oth\u00ader day that there are a lot of Pentecostal\/Charismatic\/Third Wave lead\u00aders with degrees from sec\u00adu\u00adlar uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties instead of Bible colleges\/Christian lib\u00ader\u00adal arts schools, so I start\u00aded putting a list togeth\u00ader.<\/p>\n
The list is heavy on the Assem\u00adblies of God because those are the cir\u00adcles I run in, and it\u2019s also min\u00adis\u00adter-heavy for the same rea\u00adson. I\u2019d love to add some busi\u00adness lead\u00aders. I\u2019m leav\u00ading out Chi Alpha mis\u00adsion\u00adar\u00adies because we\u2019d swamp the list.<\/p>\n
In alpha\u00adbet\u00adi\u00adcal order: wick\u00ader man the free down\u00adload<\/a><\/p>\n (politi\u00adcian and author) \u2013 Yale for under\u00adgrad, Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Chica\u00adgo for law school<\/p><\/li>\n free woman s rage a<\/a><\/p>\n (the\u00adolo\u00adgian and author) \u2014 B.S., Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Cal\u00adi\u00adfor\u00adnia, S.T.M. from Har\u00advard<\/p><\/li>\n (Exec\u00adu\u00adtive Direc\u00adtor AG US Mis\u00adsions) \u2013 Flori\u00adda State Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty<\/p><\/li>\n For Grad Work Only<\/b><\/p>\n Why com\u00adpile a list like this? <\/p>\n First, if you\u2019re a stu\u00addent at a sec\u00adu\u00adlar school don\u2019t assume that you can\u2019t go into voca\u00adtion\u00adal min\u00adistry. As this list shows, some of the most well-known min\u00adis\u00adters in the Pen\u00adte\u00adcostal world come from the same place you do. And the trend isn\u2019t abat\u00ading \u2014 when I was in sem\u00adi\u00adnary I learned that half of my class\u00admates at AGTS<\/a> had gone to non-Chris\u00adt\u00adian schools for their under\u00adgrad just as I had. <\/p>\n Sec\u00adond, if you\u2019re a youth pas\u00adtor (or a par\u00adent) don\u2019t be scared to send your kids with a min\u00adistry call\u00ading off to sec\u00adu\u00adlar schools to major in busi\u00adness or physics some\u00adthing. Bible col\u00adleges aren\u2019t the only route to min\u00adis\u00adte\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal prepa\u00adra\u00adtion \u2014 and for many peo\u00adple they\u2019re not the best route.<\/p>\n Third, don\u2019t feel alone if you\u2019re in min\u00adistry and grad\u00adu\u00adat\u00aded from a sec\u00adu\u00adlar uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty. At least in the Assem\u00adblies of God it\u2019s pret\u00adty easy to feel iso\u00adlat\u00aded, because they have all these Bible col\u00adlege alum\u00adni reunions at every big min\u00adis\u00adter\u2019s gath\u00ader\u00ading and there\u2019s nev\u00ader a gath\u00ader\u00ading for \u201cwent to a pagan school.\u201d You may feel alone, but you\u2019re not even close to alone.<\/p>\n Any\u00adway, there are no doubt dozens more who aren\u2019t com\u00ading to mind right now. I wel\u00adcome con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtions to the list \u2014 leave any updates in the com\u00adment sec\u00adtion<\/a> or email\/facebook me.

\nFor Their Under\u00adgrad<\/b><\/p>\n\n

\nedit 3\/21\/2008: Rich sug\u00adgest\u00aded Roger Houtsma along with Gor\u00addon Fee and George O Wood (I\u2019m leav\u00ading those two off for now because only their doc\u00adtor\u00adates that came from a sec\u00adu\u00adlar school \u2014 try\u00ading to decide what to do with that). I\u2019m also leav\u00ading off Mark Bat\u00adter\u00adson for now because he start\u00aded his under\u00adgrad at Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Chica\u00adgo but fin\u00adished at a Bible col\u00adlege. I also added a third rea\u00adson for the list.
\nedit 3\/21\/2008: Char\u00adlie also sug\u00adgest\u00aded sev\u00ader\u00adal Ph.Ds, so I\u2019ve start\u00aded a sec\u00adond list of those who did grad work at non-Chris\u00adt\u00adian schools.
\nedit 3\/28\/2008: Brady Boyd, Mar\u00advin Miller, JP More\u00adland, Mark Driscoll, Sam Storms, and Wayne Gru\u00addem added
\nedit 6\/18\/2008: Frank Cargill, Den\u00adnis Cheek, Randy Gar\u00adcia, Jonathan Gains\u00adbrugh added
\nedit 7\/1\/2008: added Antho\u00adny Sco\u00adma \u2014 doh! How did I over\u00adlook my bud?
\nedit 7\/9\/2008: added Rocky Bar\u00adra \u2014 thanks to David Moore for the point\u00ader
\nedit 7\/24\/2008: removed Doug Peter\u00adson and added Roli dela Cruz, Chris Carter, Todd Labute, and John Carter per Eka\u00adpu\u00adtra Tupamahu<\/a>\u2019s sug\u00adges\u00adtions in the com\u00adments below. I haven\u2019t tracked down a bio on each per\u00adson, so their under\u00adgrad degrees might also be from sec\u00adu\u00adlar schools.
\nedit 8\/29\/2008: added Sarah Palin, gov\u00ader\u00adnor of Alas\u00adka and VP nom\u00adi\u00adnee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
