STUDENT

Laura Pepper M.Div. Student

“MY FAVORITE THING about Southwestern so far is having the opportunity to learn about Scripture in the classroom setting. I have grown up in a family that loves the Lord and has always encouraged me to pursue Him, and it is so unique to have the blessings of attending classes centered around knowing God better. I grew up with public school as my mission field for my entire life, but this is the first time I have been able to study about God in this way. It is a humbling honor. The most important thing I have learned at Southwestern so far is that the Lord is worthy of worshipping Him with our minds. I remember desiring to do so deeper for so long that finally having the opportunity to do so in this way is such a gift.”

M. TODD BATES Associate Dean and Professor of Philosophy, Texas Baptist College

“GOD SO CLEARLY ORCHESTRATED EVERY STEP in the process with Texas Baptist College that it was no longer a matter of discerning God’s leadership, but a matter of obeying God’s leadership. Dean Ben Skaug’s vision for TBC joins together so many things that are important to me. Students are challenged to love God with all their minds in TBC’s Christ-centered academics. A high view of Scripture drives everything in the curriculum, which is designed to cultivate a well-formed life in all our students for faithful Kingdom service.”
