“I chose residency at Ransom Church because I graduated with a degree in ministry, and I still felt like I was missing the necessary experience to do the job well. The residency has allowed me to have the guiding hand that I was looking for during my first few years in ministry.”

“Honestly, I feel like residency chose me. I wrestled with my call to ministry and stepping away from healthcare, as I love Physical Therapy and still do. I began to get my own ideas about seminary and God closed those doors hard and fast only to open the door to residency. Mandi and I had been having conversations while I still worked for Sanford, and she walked with me as I stepped into this calling. So, I opened my hands and stepped out in faith. Delayed obedience is disobedience, and here I am.”
