Seminaries train pastors to be prepared for ministry. Yet, some have the reputation of killing the passion / faith of soon-to-be pastors, thus sometimes being mocked as "cemeteries." How does this happen and what's the remedy? Dave Ambrose, Drew Steinhart, and Clint Neptune share about their seminary experiences, and how modern approaches to theological education provide a hope for the future of pastoral training and formalized discipleship.

The books and passages of prophecy are among the most difficult for modern readers to get their arms around.  We discuss what prophets are and how they function, how the New Testament engages with prophecy, the difference between forth-telling and fore-telling, and other prophecy related topics.

We are kicking off our year-long mega series "The Journey" about all of scripture by keeping the end of the story in mind - we'll be unpacking Revelation!
This final piece of the New Testament has drawn the fascination of Christians and pop-culture enthusiasts alike for its epic, mysterious, and apocalyptic elements.
In this Series Spotlight on "The End Game," we look at the Big Ideas for each week and drill down on what we mean when we say, "The book of revelation is not about the end of the world, but about the end of evil in the world."

Clint is joined by Dave and Drew to discuss the current Advent series called The Missing Peace.  The coming of Jesus fits into a larger narrative and longing for a rescuer who would bring peace.  We discuss how the series will connect the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament to the life and death of Jesus. 

Series Spotlight: We are wrapping up our year-long theme of SENDING - we started the year with Meeting the Missionary God, and in May looked at Becoming the Missionary Church.  Now, we will be talking about Living as Sent People and asking ourselves what it looks like to be sent to where God is calling us.

Have you ever considered getting baptized, but you have a bunch of questions? Great! We get into what baptism is, why someone would do it, how we practice it at Heartland, and the appropriate age for someone to be baptized.
