Zach's Story

“I’m doing the two year Associate of Arts, Bible-Theology degree.

Isaiah is one [course] that I’m really enjoying. The professor does a really good job; he understands the book very well and how many other places in the Bible use Isaiah as a reference.

Next semester I’m lined up to take Ethics. I’m excited about digging into some of the questions that are not ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers and some of them don’t even have an answer. For me, I love that type of question, so I’m really excited about that too. Just working through some of those questions, finding a biblical basis and why even different groups or Christians come up with different answers.

A Highlight: The way the professors read through the Bible and they see God’s hand through it all. Right from Old Testament: which often is a book that seems irrelevant. It’s actually incredibly relevant. That’s another thing that I’ve learned in SBC: seeing God’s faithfulness throughout the Old Testament is truly amazing. God is the same today, yesterday and always. It’s amazing to find that God made promises that He’s stayed true to His word.

I want to be able to really read the Bible and connect things that I haven’t [connected] before.... Seeing God’s promises in the New Testament and the Old Testament too: That God has held true to His word here, here and here. Why won’t he do the same now? To be able to do that and be able to encourage others to dig deeper into the word and ask tough questions."
