Should every pastor go to seminary? Is theological education essential for effective ministry, and what should aspiring pastors do if they cannot attend seminary in person?

On this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson sits down with Dr. Walter Johnson, retired professor of theology, preaching, and philosophy at North Greenville University, to discuss the importance of theological education for those called to ministry.

Johnson argues that a call to ministry is a call to prepare. Drawing on Scripture, church history, and decades of teaching experience, he explains why pastors should pursue the strongest biblical and theological training available to them.

Whether you are a young man discerning a call to ministry, a current pastor considering further training, or a church member seeking to encourage future pastors, this conversation offers practical wisdom about preparing to serve Christ and His church faithfully.

In this episode of Courier Conversations Plus, Jeff Robinson sits down with pastor and author Ray Rhodes, Jr. to talk about his new biography, Spurgeon: The Man Beyond the Pulpit.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon is remembered as one of the greatest preachers in Christian history, but what was he like beyond the pulpit? Ray Rhodes has spent more than a decade researching Spurgeon’s life, ministry, writings, marriage, suffering, and theology, and he brings a fresh perspective to the man behind the legendary preaching ministry.

Jeff and Ray discuss Spurgeon’s rural upbringing, his love for the Puritans, his extraordinary productivity, his marriage to Susannah Spurgeon, his physical suffering, his commitment to biblical and Reformed theology, his passion for evangelism, and the painful Downgrade Controversy that marked the final years of his ministry.

They also explore how Spurgeon’s life and ministry continue to challenge and encourage pastors and Christians today.
