Reflecting on my graduation has me nostalgic and thinking about the “gospel truths” that I’ve seen in my favourite action hero: Goku. “Corey,” you say as you roll your eyes. “Dragon Ball is so nerdy. Just stop.” “Ridiculous!” I say, finger in the air. “Every [...]
In a few short weeks, I graduate from seminary with a Master's degree. I’m relieved; it’s the end of a significant stage of my life, where significant parts of work or school involve Christian ministry. I’m excited for the breather, but proud of myself for [...]
