One of the main reasons was to drop Adam off at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY &#8211; one of the best rated conservative evangelical theological schools in the country, with Al Mohler as its president. He began his classes a couple days ago, the first in a long series toward earning his Master of Divinity degree. He is so excited to be studying theology, Greek, hermeneutics, and many other courses that will prepare him for whatever area of ministry God moves him toward. He will be living with his best friend Keegan, who was also his roommate going through college at Western. They are in the same classes, and are having a blast exploring this new phase in their lives.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2588\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2588\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2588\" src=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021-08-Adam-at-Southern.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021-08-Adam-at-Southern.jpg 800w, https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021-08-Adam-at-Southern-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021-08-Adam-at-Southern-768x566.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2588\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam is embarking on a long journey toward his Master of Divinity degree at Southern Seminary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The girls certainly shed some tears in saying goodbye, but while we were there, Alyssa toured the campus and met with admissions counselors as she considers possibly attending Boyce College next year, which is on the same campus as Southern.
