Many seminaries focus on the techniques of ministry. While technique is important, a good seminary has to do more than just teach people how to accomplish a job. It must prepare them to decide which jobs are worth accomplishing. That is what we aim to do at Central Seminary. Our mission is to prepare tomorrow’s Christian leaders. We do this by equipping their minds to think carefully about God’s revelation and shaping their hearts to respond quickly to God’s will. To these we add technique so that their hands will be skilled to serve God, and their mouths will be equipped to proclaim his Word.

On Mentoring
Genuine ministerial training is more than preparing the mind; it involves shaping and preparing a life to proclaim and practice those truths in ways that advance the Gospel of Christ and build His church. This life touching life approach to ministry is the subject a of recent blog post by one of our graduates, Terry Lange. I was impacted by Terry's words and thought they would be of help to those who read this blog. He has kindly allowed me to repost them here.
What We Can Learn from Joe Paterno
by Terry Lange
This is not going to be an article on football or the scandal that plagued Joe Paterno in recent days before his death, but rather a few things that I learned from an article in the USA Today written by Jack Carey.
Most people will remember Joe Paterno for his coaching longevity, his accomplishments on the football field or the scandal that eventually led to his dismissal from Penn State University. What stood out to me was something far different.

On Practicing Our Faith
A foundational Baptist distinctive is our commitment that the Scriptures are the sole authority for faith (what we believe) and practice (what we do). By the way, this is not just a Baptist distinctive for our church life – it ought to be a foundational premise for each of our daily lives.
However, often what we say we believe and what we actually do are two very different things. And to an important degree, what we practice habitually actually reveals the truth about what we believe regardless of our protests to the contrary.
For example, if we say that the Scriptures teach a particular truth or demand a particular response, but our behavior and our practice consistently contradict that truth or violate that response. It might be reasonably argued that we really don’t believe that truth or assign the weight/value to that response that we might be claiming to give it with our mouths.
In other words – our behavior over a consistent period of time actually reveals what we truly believe.
