Don't Go to Seminary

[@jakehaviland2083]

thanks for this thoughtful video and all the past trumpet lessons

Thanks, Jake! Great times at the Rochester OPC and playing trumpet. There should be more videos here soon, otherwise check out my Substack: joelcarini.substack.com!

Hi Joel - this is Paul (from seminary!) and I was happy to stumble upon this video today. I agree with so much of what you said here, and it brings me back to some of our conversations in those days. I spent a few years in church ministry after graduation and then decided to leave it amid the political chaos that surrounded the pandemic. I got a degree in clinical counseling and find life to be much better on this path. I think we need more voices expressing the realities of Seminary and professional ministry, and I really appreciate what you've shared here.

Hey Paul! What a story; that fits with the pattern I’ve heard from others. Would love to talk and catch up if you have a chance. Maybe try me through Substack

Makes Me think of Vern Poythress and his expansive field work in other topics!! Nice insight brother God blesa

[@NaturalTheologian]

Yes, Dr. Poythress could definitely be an example! He was my professor, and yet my seminary didn’t emphasize his work on other fields. I wish they had

[@parson8582]

Excellent. Couldn't agree more. Right on!

[@jacobbeckmarketing]

Would you share what seminary you went to?
