Training Pastors in the Local Church

UPDATE (4/16/2010): This began as a series at Said at Southern, but the site publisher stopped publishing any new posts. Links to the original posts are here, but I am publishing the three original Said at Southern posts along with the remainder of this seven-part series, at this blog. This post will serve as the index for the series, which I had originally hoped to complete by the end of 2008. Well, it's already not far from mid-2010 and I have not written the final two articles in the series. I have run out of a bit of steam, having had major changes (totally different job as of Jan. 2009) as well as family, school, and ministry responsibilities. I do not know if I will be able to complete this series or not, but if you are interested in these remaining articles, feel free to check back this summer or fall to see if I have updated this post.

I am excited to be writing a series for Said at Southern, entitled "Training Pastors in the Local Church." I will update this post with links as new articles are added.
