How to Study Theology Without Becoming Spiritually Dry
Leaving for seminary is exciting, but it can also be intimidating. This week on Quiet Time, Dr. Sauer shares decades of wisdom on studying theology, growing in holiness, handling doubt, disagreeing graciously, and keeping your relationship with Christ at the center of ministry. He sits down with former student Asaph to discuss biblical encouragement for the journey ahead, whether you're preparing for seminary, serving in ministry, or simply wanting to deepen your walk with God.
