Preaching is a journey, not a destination. It is a craft that requires time, discipline, feedback and continual improvement.
I had a good, solid seminary education but as I look back, I see how much of my education for ministry was On the Job Training and trial by fire!
I am not aiming to develop court stenographers. If the goal is to produce an exact replica of my notes, I can give them my notes! But I want them engaged with me. I want eyeballs. I want ears. Can I be so bold as to say, I even want hearts.

“Why should I take the time to go seminary when people are dying without Christ all over the world?” A veteran missionary offers compelling reasons.

"Often, ministry leaders, having received a theological master’s degree, realize they were trained for a world that no longer exists."
