CBS

As a part of my internship, I have the privilege of doing some student teaching. DTS has a lay institute called the Center for Biblical Studies (CBS) through which they offer classes to anyone interested. The faculty consists mainly of academic ministry majors (like myself) who are seeking experience in the classroom.

So far, the class has been a delight. We have ten students. I say, “we” because I am team-teaching this class with my close friend, John Buerger. The class is ten weeks long, and meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:45-9:30. I’m teaching the first five weeks; John will teach the second five weeks. The class is called Spiritual Life, and deals with topics related to walking with the Lord. My part consists of biblical and systematic theology related to the spiritual life; John’s part is on the practice side of things (spiritual disciplines, etc.).

Thanks to those who have been praying. Please continue to do so. The prep time for these lectures has put me a bit behind in my regular studies. It’s so worth it! And I am thankful to the Lord for the experience, and for the affirmation of my gifting and calling.
