My time at Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School put me in the midst of the full swath of the Christian tradition, but it did so with strong Baptist support. I became friends with several professors and students, some of whom I expect to remain close with for the rest of my life, and the lessons they taught me have carried me through my time as a Ph.D. student at Baylor thus far. As a way to pay it forward, I hope to use my time as a BCU scholar to strengthen both my calling to represent Baptist theological convictions and also see them as conversation partners in the larger Christian and academic world.
