“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Well, hello again. Seeds of Scripture has lay dormant since 2020, but I’m back and I have big news!

I did it!

I completed my Masters in Theological Studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Yahoo! I loved every minute of this stimulating, enlightening, and intense 5 ½ year journey.

So, you ask, “What’s next?” That’s a fair question. When I asked God the same question, He reminded me why I started journey. I taught and blogged about Scripture for many years. After a few speaking opportunities I felt God calling me to expand my ministry beyond my home church. I needed deeper biblical understanding and a credential.

What’s next God?

“Here I am, Lord… Speak for your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3:4-10) God slammed the door to pastoring a church but cracked open other doors for me to peek through. One day I’ll guide you through the maze that led me full circle back to teaching, writing, and speaking – only God could have arranged the twists and turns.

So I’ve returned home with a newly minted degree. To get started, I plan to complete the Bible study about the Apostle Paul that I researched and began writing last year. I’ll share tidbits and teasers in a weekly Seeds of Scripture blog post. I will also pursue church connections where I might speak at an event or preach during worship.

Can I be honest? I’m scared to be on my own with only God to follow instead of a professor’s assignment. I’m also excited to share what I learned and what God continues to reveal.
