How does the process of seminary transform? Why do you believe what you believe? What are some effective methods for preaching? How can one be empowered to minister to the masses? I Trusted the Process is a reflection upon how one’s sojourn through seminary answers these questions. Join the author on a journey back in time where his experience or process in seminary transformed him and profoundly shifted the way that he thinks and ministers. While some cast doubt on the worth of seminary, even going to great lengths of labeling it a cemetery, the author’s works collected in this volume from his time in seminary show how seminary can challenge someone; how it challenges someone to the extent that if that someone trusts the process, that someone will come out better on the other side. I Trusted the Process provides models and example work from seminary that readers can use to do their own work of determining what they believe and why. Works within this volume also provide examples of biblical exegesis, preaching methodologies at work, reflections on written works and of holistic ministry, and a pattern for articulating one’s own Christology, among other things. Navigating through this book for those unable to attend seminary can serve as its own type of process. It also provides insight into the mind of one who seeks to help change the world. If one is to believe the glowing words from the foreword and the cover, such a mind is worth exploration. He can say: I Trusted the Process. Can you?
