The Seminaries are Cooked! And the Church Will be Too if We Don't Solve this Problem!

Description: The seminaries in the United States are facing a crisis, and most people don’t realize just how serious it is. In this video, I break down five major reasons why many seminaries are struggling, from liberal theology and “woke” agendas to skyrocketing tuition costs, declining student numbers, and the rise of online learning. We are on the brink of a massive pastoral shortage, and churches across the nation may soon face a lack of trained, equipped, and faithful pastors. But there is hope. I also share a practical solution: the Jonathan Edwards Scholarship at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary (RPTS) in Pittsburgh, designed to help train the next generation of bold, faithful ministers. If you care about the future of the church and want to support strong seminaries or even apply for a scholarship, this video is for you.
