New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary

But if having go-to-town money makes you impossibly bull-headed, putting it aside will be one of the worst mistakes you ever make." When I read that last line about the wrong use of margin or go-to-town money, I think of my friend, the late Dr.

Landrum Leavell, who for many years was the president of New Orleans Seminary.

And I remember Dr. Leavell telling me one time about a pastor friend of his who lived in Mississippi, and this pastor had one goal in life.

He wanted to accumulate $1 million.

I was on a plane, um, when I was finishing my degree years ago.

I was flying on a plane back and forth to finish at New Orleans Seminary.

And I was on the plane one time, and I was talking to somebody about Jesus being the only way.

They were like, "Man, I believe in Jesus, but I believe in all these other options as well." And, and I said, "Well, listen, you know, Jesus is the only way to God.

And he was an elder at Eastwood Presbyterian Church there.

And he just had seen work that was done actually at Angola Prison in Louisiana in partnership with New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and a warden at that prison, and his name is escaping me right now, but anyone in the prison world will know who I'm talking about, had developed a partnership with that seminary to come bring real rigorous theological education into the prison.

And they had seen an unbelievable change.

And so Jeff said, I need to find the place that's going to help me do that.
