I don’t know if fellow blogger and great friend JohnDave Medina intended on announcing his accomplishment on this blog, but I thought all of our readers should share in the joyous news that tonight he will be celebrating his graduation with an MA in Theological Studies (MATS) from George Fox Evangelical Seminary here in Portland, OR! I know that he has worked very, very hard to get to this point. I do hope he will blog about his journey at some future date, but today we honor him for the accomplishment of crossing the finish line.
Congratulations JohnDave!

Congratulations, JohnDave! I would definitely be interested in reading about your journey through the MATS program at George Fox, seeing as I will be beginning the program this upcoming Fall. Any plans for PhD programs? I remember reading about possibly pursuing UCLA?

Thanks for this post! I appreciate it a lot. See you tonight.

Thanks, everyone! I will enjoy this for all of us. I will be doing at least one blog about the journey. The first step is getting a job and preparing for the PhD.

Absolutely, congratulations to you. As a bi-vocational pastor that is trying to complete my masters in seminary, I can really appreciate this accomplishment. Well done.
