Following God’s Will in the New Year
The power of relationships is difficult to overstate. At Sioux Falls and Taylor Seminaries, we believe the same can be said for organizations that seek to follow God’s will. As organizations who are on mission with God, we must be in relationship with other organizations who are doing the same. For this reason we are so deeply committed to our partnership with each other.

Sioux Falls Seminary: Hub, Provider, and Network
After being out of the state for most of the past six weeks, I am back in Sioux Falls (still with coffee…lots of coffee). Over the next few weeks, the seminary is meeting with various groups of people to talk about what God is doing in and through this organization. I'm often asked "What's Happening at Sioux Falls Seminary?"
Renewed Hope and Vision for Seminaries
I am writing this from the Chicago O’Hare Airport. It’s a cold and gloomy day outside, but I am anything but gloomy! This past week, the seminary was involved in gatherings hosted by the Association of Theological Schools, an organization that accredits and supports seminaries in the United States and Canada. The conversations were fruitful.
Integrating Culture, Context, and Call into Theological Education
Greetings from Armenia, Colombia! I am here with Kairos students from across Colombia who are attending their first Kairos Gathering. The group ranges in age from early 20s to mid-60s, and the ministry contexts in which these students are engaged range from business to youth ministry and urban to rural.
Co-Laborers: The Value of Working with Other Seminaries
October is a busy month for Sioux Falls Seminary, the network of partners engaged in the Kairos Project, and me personally! Between October 1-31, members of our community will be in Canada, all four times zones in the contiguous US, Germany, Dubai, Ethiopia, and Colombia. I will be in each of these places this month.
Reflection: Blessed by Generosity
Philippians 1:3-11 reminds us, "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you...
