Student Stories
It was through my relationships and studies at LBS that I came to find my ‘theological home.’ Moreover, it has been in this humble space where I have wrestled most with God and have come to experience and appreciate a fuller understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The MDiv program exposed areas of ministry that I’d never imagined, and provided new perspective to the exploration of God’s Word for the sake of his kingdom. I am now far more equipped to step into this ministry because of my years of lecture and study at LBS.
At Seminary we are faced with God’s call to the nations; we are trained to go out into the world and share the message of Jesus with those who don’t know him.
