Teaching Theology

My wife, Heather, has started a dream of becoming a theological professor. I, for the most part, think that it is an amazing idea. The ability to interact with others in an academic setting combined with helping others to learn and grow the Kingdom of God is a dream of mine as well. I have considered going down this road before. It can actually be quite scary for the timid at heart. The theological, philosophical, and historical disciplines can be very challenging (she has already taken many steps down this road already). I am very proud of her that she would take up this dream. I know that whatever avenue she does go down, her studies in these areas will help her in ways that she cannot now know. It will be quite the adventure to see where all of this take her, she may teach children in remote areas or adults in huge university; the important thing is that the skills that she will learn will help to bring about God's Kingdom. Even if she later changes her mind, she will not have wasted her time.
