The $18,000 Leith Anderson Scholarship is back! Enter to earn your DMin free below—the scholarship closes May 10.

This spring, the DMin is introducing a new track: “The Gospel in Church and Culture,” coordinated by Dr. Jim Belcher. The track draws on Scripture and Christian tradition to help pastors proclaim the Gospel in church and culture.

If you start before June, you can take Dr. Belcher’s “Mission and Tradition: Seeking Balance in Ministry.” The class will look at the emerging and traditional churches, seeking a third way for the twenty-first century—a path between tradition and modernity.

Congratulations to Gary Golike!

Gary Golike is the winner of our last Leith Anderson Scholarship. He’s a pastor in Nebraska with 33 years’ ministry experience. Gary is coming out of a sabbatical—he writes, “The scholarship comes at a perfect time in my life, and will fulfill a long-desired dream to continue my biblical and theological education.  . . . I feel that the opportunity to study at Knox is an intentional gift from God.”

“As a teenager,” Gary writes, “I began to wander and attempted to live in both worlds, staying close to life in the church, but also getting involved in worldly behavior. . . . After struggling through a philosophy class that emphasized existentialism and also some relationship issues, I was suddenly struck with the foolishness and purposelessness of my attempts to find my way apart from God’s will.”

If Gary’s wanderings sound familiar, it’s because the tension he faced—between church and culture, tradition and modernity—is the same tension addressed in the new Knox track with Logos. That tension is ancient, and it demands nuanced answers.

Apply to Knox’s Gospel in Church and Culture track by May 10.

Second Billy Graham Scholarship Winner—MA (Biblical and Theological Studies)

Joey is a youth pastor in New Port Richey, FL. He is the winner of the second Billy Graham Scholarship and says, “this scholarship has made God’s calling bundantly clear”: he’ll be preparing for service as a church planter. Two days before entering to win the scholarship, he shared with his wife God’s leading to study and grow intellectually but admitted that financially he had no way of doing it. He says that winning the scholarship is God’s miraculous providence in his life and shares, “And in light of God’s generosity to me I am even more compelled to follow His example in being radically generous to others for the glory of God alone.”

Second Francis Schaeffer Scholarship Winner—MA (Christian and Classical Studies)

As a teen, Glendon was blessed to attend The Salvation Army Boy’s and Girls’ Club where a God-honoring staff guided him in serving others. He was raised in a Christian home but it was through that experience that God was leading him, in some capacity, to serve others.

After pastoring several churches as an interim and pursuing other employment, he pondered going back to seminary but with a family it was financially impossible. While researching Logos Bible Software, he discovered the scholarship and flexible online programs at Knox that would allow him to pursue his education around secular or church employment. Describing this answer to prayer he says, “This scholarship will allow me to immediately pursue my education alongside my family as we follow the visions God has cast before us… and give me a greater academic base as I continue to mentor young ministers, deacons, and other church members to a more fruitful walk with Jesus.”

Congratulations, Glendon!

Knox offers residential scholarships and comprehensive scholarships for our joint programs with Logos Bible Software. Don’t let finances stand in your way of pursuing seminary and fulfilling God’s calling on your life.

Congratulations, Demetrius Walton—you won last fall’s John Piper Scholarship!

Demetrius is an army chaplain serving in the Middle East. His focuses are family ministry and marital counseling, and he trains other chaplains to be better counselors. Demetrius grew up in a New Age household, but thanks to New Life, he started to move toward God; in 2000, with the help of The Navigators’ ministry, he became a Christian. He went on to teach at Bible college and serve as a missionary in Cambodia.

Demetrius’ comprehensive John Piper Scholarship will give him the financial means to grow as a teacher and a preacher. In the month of June, he plans to resume his associate pastor duties at Steamtown Church in Scranton, PA.

Ultimately, he plans to return to Asia—to China, to train and equip young pastors in the underground church.

What would you do with the flexibility afforded by a comprehensive scholarship, a curriculum that lets you keep your job and church while you study, and a terminal degree? Serve abroad, like Demetrius? Step up in your local church? Support your family with answers from the Word? Whatever your goals, Knox’s Gospel-centered education can help you achieve them.

This could be you!

We’re pleased to congratulate Steve Langella, of Brooklyn, NY, on winning the previous Billy Graham Scholarship. Steve was born again in 1987; at the time, he was 24 and a bartender. He “began to feel restless and empty,” and one day he wanted nothing more than to go to church. He prayed, “Lord, I know that I am a sinner and that I have disobeyed you my whole life. Please save me and change my life.” God did, and Steve joined a church in Brooklyn, where he came to realize that preaching and teaching were his spiritual gifts. In 2006, at 43, he decided to earn his BA in religion, where he became fascinated with Reformed theology.

He says, “This scholarship will help me become better equipped to fulfill God’s calling in my life. It affords me the opportunity to continue my biblical education and not incur further debt . . . I believe that this scholarship will enable me to do what I could otherwise not do, which is sit at the feet of Gospel-centered men . . . and learn from their experience.”

This could be you!

The course was designed to be a study of the Epistle to the Hebrews that focuses on its literary and canonical argument, drawing on the history of interpretation and considering its implications for Christian doctrine and ministry. In so doing, they considered a number of major issues in theology and ministry: the work of Christ, the relation of the Old and New Covenants, the objective and subjective aspects of the Christian life, suffering and perseverance, assurance, and the nature of faith.
