An interview with the Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl (DMin '12) about his life, ministry, and the sacred purpose of his most recent book titled:  Breakfast on the Beach - The development of Simon Peter.  Johann spent many years teaching at a theological training college in Ethiopia.  There he learned (among other things) the potency of storytelling when teaching the truths of God's Word, especially in the context of aural learning communities.  His book teaches the cultural context of the gospels through a narrative from the eyes of Simon Peter:  "The Rock" on which Jesus built his church.

How about yet another change of pace?  We've prepared two sermons from September of 2019 by two of our faculty members:  Dr. Erika Moore, and The Rt. Rev. Dr. Grant LeMarquand.The first one was given by Dr. Moore on Psalm chapter 1.  She explains the significance of chapters 1 and 2 as the gateway to the Psalms.  Setting the tone for the whole rest of the book.  Dr. Moore is the Academic Dean, and Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew here at Trinity School for Ministry. The second sermon was on John 4, and was given by Bishop Grant LeMarquand.  He challenges the common theological emphasis put onto the end of the chapter, by encouraging us to look more closely at Jesus' words: "I am doing the will of my Father who sent me."  In doing so, we take the focus off of ourselves and are able to observe more clearly the works of our Savior: the Prince of Peace.  The Rt. Rev. Dr. Grant LeMarquand is a Co-Director of the Stanway Institute for World Mission and Evangelism, and Professor of New Testament here at Trinity School for Ministry.New episodes every Monday. If you want  to support Trinity School for Ministry, and pick up some tasteful Trinity logo merchandise at the same time, head over to our new online store at:  https://www.thetrinitystore.org/en/usd
