I'm kind of just sending this out into the void. Reading over it, I realize that I've basically written a thought that may be of little use to you. I'd appreciate your feedback on the thought though.

Hands-On Learning?
I've been contemplating the concept of receiving training from the local church rather than or, more likely, in conjunction with academic training. I feel like I am learning much through theory but not enough through practice. So much is available to learn through engaging in the ministry of interest! Ministries of my interest right now include writing/exegesis, biblical counseling, and teaching. Pursuing one in seminary and growing in another in the church is what I have in mind. If I want to write commentaries, word studies, and/or Sunday School lessons as well as lead/teach in women's ministry, I could learn the writing and exegesis in the classroom and learn the leading/teaching (and possible interwoven informal counseling) within the church. I think the hands-on approach to education would prove good for me. I am unbalanced right now in my knowledge. I'd like to even out--well, at least achieve as much a balance as is possible.
