So you want to be a Doctor?

PhD

“PhD’s are becoming more and more common, particularly in the church. … Are you wishing to teach at a seminary or use your PhD in the pastoral ministry? I know literally dozens of able, gifted men who have PhD’s but do not have a position at a Seminary. Be warned: unless you are incredibly gifted or you have very good contacts (i.e., people in high places), a Seminary position will not automatically fall into your lap once you’re finished. It likely never will.”

There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
