I am a one of the pastor/elders in a new church plant in the states. I have finished an M.Div already, and eventually I would really like to do a Ph.D (maybe from HTC, and I'm trying to convince my brother to do the same!). However, I have no aspirations of leaving the church for the academy. I simply want to know God as clearly and deeply as possible and bring Him to bear to my congregation.

This degree interests me b/c I love Reformed Theology, and it looks to be helpful in my pastoral ministry pursuits. It would also afford me the opportunity to get exposed/evaluated to see if a Ph.D would be feasible for me in the future. Is that line of thinking sensible? Would this degree be helpful for those ends?

I do give praise to God for your blog. It always challenges me as a pastor to be more historical and theological. I should give a 'shout-out' to Nate Mihelis (boanerges blog) for turning me on to your blog over two years ago. He is currently a member at my brother's church.
