I spend almost 8 years in a very good Seminary & Bible College. I am greatly blessed by the correct information I received. But when I look back there was some dangerous lessons that never made the official syllabus.
- Who I am supposed to admire…
- What I am supposed to believe…
- Where I am supposed to find answers …
- Why I am supposed to think a certain way …
- How I am supposed to deal with impossible questions…
I had very good training for a ministry without risk. I’ve got heroes to emulate, mantras to disseminate, the right books to mediate, theological systems to propagate, and clichés to perpetuate.
Who knew a good Seminary could become so dangerous. You trade off self-confidence and the courage to be creative.
You might lose the essential impulse to listen to real people. You could even forgot that Jesus is calling you to be yourself .
