Why Would Anyone Choose Seminary Today? A Conversation with a First-Year Seminarian
In this episode of Together 4 Good, I’m joined by Kate Souther, who just completed her first semester at Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia.
During our conversation we talk about what seminary is really like, why theology still matters, and how faith can grow not just through prayer and worship, but also through reading, studying, and thinking deeply.
Kate shares her experience studying pastoral care, Christian history, and contextual education. She reflects on her work with refugee children in an afterschool program and gained the knowledge that play, presence, and community impact ministry.
We also talked about calling: how Kate first fell in love with theology in middle school, how being told “no” pushed her into becoming a Pastor, and what draws her into the idea of being a parish pastor.
You’ll learn:
Why seminary still matters
How theology connects to everyday life
What is means to feel “where you’re supposed to be”
How faith can be strengthened through learning
