A Seedbed

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” – Colossians 2:6,7 Seminary is, at its core, a seedbed—a place where faith is planted and nurtured, so it can eventually flourish and bring life to communities and churches. Too often, those of us who pass through seminary end up focusing more on knowledge than on true spiritual life. We feast from the tree of knowledge but neglect the tree of life. Life is full of hardships and unanswered questions—what’s God’s purpose in our struggles? My encouragement is: don’t let these questions consume you. We may never understand why certain challenges are allowed, but we can always choose to trust in God’s character. He is good, faithful, and always comes through for His people. Looking
