RD 701 was actually a really important course for me! It may sound like just a dry research course, but it really stretched me to move past going through the motions and instead push myself to wrestle through each stage of forming an argument. My professor, Dr. Joel Houston, also played an integral role in my formation while taking this class. He was able to call me out for not giving my best while also encouraging me in my academic capabilities. I feel like he pushed me in a really balanced way, calling me to have higher expectations of myself but also not leaving me feeling discouraged.

My three years at Briercrest Seminary were some of the most formational in my entire Christian life. My relationship with God deepened and widened as I grew in my knowledge of him, my faith in him, and my love for him. The teachers, courses, and my classmates at Briercrest Seminary prepared me to equip and serve the local church.

In our age of efficiency and distraction, church takes forever. But that's exactly why we need it. Joel Houston, PhD, explains why Church should be slow, inefficient, and a little inconvenient and in that way, completely irreplaceable.
