We invited Dr. Courtney Jo Veasey to share her personal experience of getting her master's and doctorate degrees through seminary. We answer questions like, "How do I know if I should go to seminary?" "Where should I go?" "How do I get started?" "What should I study?" and more!

If you're wrestling with whether or not seminary is a good fit for you, this bonus episode should be extremely helpful as you navigate what is best for your own ministry journey!

Founder and director of Brunch Ministries, Dr. Courtney Veasey brings nearly twenty years of public Bible teaching experience to those she continues to serve through Christian enrichment and leadership focused events. Her ministry service also includes local church, parachurch, and academic posts previously held in Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, and California. Courtney is a graduate of Florida Southern College (BA), New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv; PhD), and Gateway Seminary (ThM). Courtney enjoys finding just the right greeting card for the occasion and pairing just the right sauce with her meal. Connect with Courtney at brunchministries.com.

It's easier to say than actually believe, right?

But it's true. No matter how talented you are, how many hours you work, or how many people show up to your small group, your value isn't found in anything you do. And the sooner you start focusing on Christ's work in you, the sooner you can stop striving to perform and start enjoying the calling God has given you.

If you know someone who could benefit from this conversation, would you send it to them? Let's constantly be reminding one another where our value comes from.

Resource Highlight: Gospel of John

The simple, accurate answer is the Great Commission! But in today's episode, we dig a little deeper to why and how we equip students to live on mission. This conversation is so important in setting the foundation for what kind of mission opportunities we plan, how to equip parents to join in, and how we prepare our own hearts as we take students on mission.

You're going to love our guest, Kenni Cavalier, and hearing her story! She is on staff at Long Hollow Church, serving the Family Ministry as the Missions Coordinator for kids, students, and parents.
