HOW HAS YOUR TRAINING AT SOUTHERN SHAPED YOUR PASTORAL MINISTRY TODAY?

“My time as a Southern Seminary student remains one of the greatest seasons of my life. The classroom instruction served as a theological and scriptural catalyst that I still lean on to this day. I’m always amazed whenever I look back on lecture notes or resources that Southern Semi- nary professors produce because of the depth of pastoral concern and theological precision. Dr. Mohler, the professors, and administration were and are examples to me each day in pastoral ministry.”

24 2020–2021 Viewbook HOW DID YOUR SOUTHERN SEMINARY EDUCATION EQUIP YOU FOR SCHOLARSHIP?

“Southern Seminary is committed to academic excellence in theological training for women. Women will learn from high-caliber faculty who are com- mitted to biblical fidelity and practical ministry. I’m thankful for the support from faculty, those who mentored me, and the solid theological foundation that continues to shape my teaching, writing, and ministry opportunities.”

LILLY PARK M .Div . and Ph .D ., Southern Seminary

HOW DID SOUTHERN SEMINARY PREPARE YOU FOR THE MISSION FIELD?

“The education that I received from Southern has been essential to my ministry. My professors taught me how to study Scripture more deeply and faithfully than I ever thought possible. I depend on those lessons every day because the people that I teach either have no knowledge of the Bible, or they have been deceived by false teaching.”
