At a time when I thought being Reformed Baptist meant certain false qualities, God used RBS to mold and shape my orthodoxy and orthopraxy.

I signed up for Historical Theology within the Marrow Program. What a blessing. I became painfully aware what little I knew about God and the Bible and Church history. I also realized that I wanted to share these wonderful learnings from great teachers and by the Holy Spirit who continues to open my eyes.

I’ve enjoyed every minute of study, from the reading to the lectures to the papers. These classes have equipped me to better love Christ and share him with my family, my church, and my counselees in a richer and more meaningful way. I’m thankful for my time at RBS.

My enrollment into RBS is one outworking of that hunger. The quality of teaching, rigorous standards, and dedication to local churches is second to none and makes RBS a thoroughly unique, impactful learning institution. The professors are experienced gospel ministers who are both able to teach and provide a treasure of practical ministry advice.

I remember standing on the lawn outside Royce Hall at UCLA, celebrating my medical school graduation. I had completed my academic pilgrimage. No more school—or so I thought. Unimaginably, twenty-two years later, I asked my wife, "What do you think about me studying in seminary?" Receiving a surprised look, but not one of disapproval, I embarked on an unforgettable four-year journey here at Reformed Baptist Seminary (RBS).

In 2022, when I completed my service with the Army, I began to pursue theological education. I completed my Bachelors degree online at a Christian university where I had thought I would continue working towards a Masters of Divinity. For many reasons I chose to look for other seminaries and ended up at Reformed Baptist Seminary.
