What brought you to LSTC?

The realization that I needed a career change and wanted to know much more about theology than I did prior to enrolling here!

What are you most looking forward to during your time at LSTC?

Experiences involving travelling the country/world, the queer community, women, and above all, friends and family. Learning more about God, who he wants and needs me to be, and growing into someone I needed when I was younger for others who may need me in the future.

What is one thing you would want someone considering theological education to know?

Discerning is difficult; I never thought I would be going to seminary. You can do this! You’re not alone, and you’re never behind in life, no matter when you start or finish your education.
