Your Voice

We have been created on purpose and for a purpose. I believe that purpose is to fulfill Jesus’ command when he says in Matthew to “go and make disciples.” How we live out this purpose looks different depending on where we end up working and where we have the opportunity to serve others with excellence.

I believe we train our students to be excellent at their vocation so they can spend a lifetime serving others and discipling well in whatever field they go into.

Lori Guy
Assistant professor of music
University of Mobile

We prepare our students to engage with an ever-changing world, one that continually asks new things of them personally and professionally.

It is our job, then, to continuously reinvent the university — sometimes in small ways and occasionally on a larger scale — to remain relevant and to serve our students and communities well.

President Beck Taylor
Samford University

Just look for His peace in the next step. He will reveal the rest in His time!

Julie Hughes
Assistant professor of nursing
University of Mobile

“It ought to be the business every day to prepare for the final day.”

Matthew Henry
Nonconformist minister and author


From the Twitterverse

@Jeff_Iorg
Effective witnessing is simple, direct and a natural part of daily relationships.

@AdamGreenway
Christian leadership is different from other kinds of leadership because no Christian leader can assume the position of being “number one,” that is, THE leader. This is true because those who believe in Christ know there is only one “Number One” … —William D. Lawrence

@ArtRainer
Jesus is alive. And that changes everything about today.

@ricklance
I once was concerned about the subtle but sinister influence of secularism pervading our society. Now I am mortified by the invasion of secularism in every area of our lives.

@jasonkeithallen
“He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.” —John Bunyan

@NOBTSApologetic
“I thought doubt and faith were opposites — that if I questioned what I believed, I’d somehow be a failure in God’s eyes. But this definition of faith has more in common with how atheists understand faith than how the Bible defines it.” —@alisachilders

@haines_matt
If the Bible is our spiritual Word that nourishes our soul, we cannot continue to starve ourselves of God’s word and expect to walk in spiritual victory in our lives.

@albertmohler
Ministry leaders in our day don’t need less theological training — they need more. …

@bellevuepastor
Before today is in the books…

Read the Bible,

Thank the Lord for His blessings,

Ask Him to give you wisdom,

Ask Him to fill you afresh with His Spirit,

Ask Him to guard & guide your speech,

Take every sinful thought captive,

Pray Scripture & Walk today in joy & peace.

@SEBTS
“I’m not just trying to give information or to give clarity of thinking; I’m trying to connect life and belief.” — @kswhitfield
