Description: Seminary professor and denominational leader Rev. Dr. Adam L. Bond anticipates the questions you ask after accepting the call to ministry: --How do I discern the right minsitry setting for me? --Are pulpit preaching and parish minsitry the only viable options? --Should I go to a seminary or a Bible college? --Should I be ordained - and if so, when?. Bond casts an overview of the ministry landscape for a new minster at any stage of the journey, and recommends resoruces and traveling companions along the way.
