Did you have a favorite class, looking back at, at all the classes that you've taken? Was there one that just really stood out to you as either more difficult but then rewarding, or just one of the classes that you really enjoyed?

Uh, I would say research and writing hermeneutics were the easiest, uh, courses for me because of my undergrad experience.

Then Dr. Balder's class were the toughest class for me.

And because they were the toughest class for me, they became my favorite classes.

I love how Dr. Balder pushes back on a thought.

He usually says, "If you make a claim, be ready to defend it." So whenever he pushes back, it forces me to think through my conviction or my statement about a particular belief.And I'll be like, "Hey, if I just end up saying something without being ready to give a reason for the hope that I have about something or the belief that I have about something, then I'm not practicing theology.

I'm just learning theology without putting it to use." So systematic theology that deals with, uh, eschatology, ecclesiology was one of the classes where I got the lowest, uh, 'cause when I joined Central, I was more influenced by the reformed amillennial position because of my relation with my uncle who is a pastor in one of the reformed Baptist churches.

You're, you're now, as you complete, so all those rigorous classes and the, and the time and, and you've put in now, what does the next phase look like for you in maybe having more opportunity to preach and, and, and train other men? What, what's the next season look like for you?
