On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast we’re kicking off a brand new series: Journeywomen Goes to Seminary. In this seven-part series we’re covering seminary topics in a way that we hope will encourage you to pursue deeper theological study. Today we’re kicking things off with Dr. Jim Shaddix of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Shaddix serves as Professor of Preaching at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC, occupying the W. A. Criswell Chair of Expository Preaching. He also serves as a Senior Fellow for the Center for Preaching and Pastoral Leadership, which exists to resource pastors in local churches. He is the author of many books. Jim and his wife, Debra, focus much of their attention on discipling and mentoring young leaders and spouses. They have three grown children and ten grandchildren.   FULL SHOW NOTES   RESOURCES Grasping God’s Word by Duvall and Hays  Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary Living by the Book by Hendricks and Hendricks (the most practical and readable book for Bible interpretation for any Christian)   DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is the joy in growing in your ability to accurately study and interpret God’s Word?
