In December 2012, I plan to graduate from Grace Theological Seminary with an MA in Theology. That means the next year will hold a lovely mix of classes: The Doctrine and History of the Church, Hermeneutics, Philosophy of Ministry, and the study of Biblical Backgrounds.
On certain days of the week (no, pastors don't only work Sundays), you'll find me exploring a temporary assignment as a part-time evangelism pastor at Grace Point Church of the Nazarene—discipling, visiting, teaching, and preaching through a local church. My heart also hangs out at a local residential rehab facility for women, as we dig into God's plans for us each Sunday night through a Celebrate Recovery program.
And, oh yes, there's the writing. I enjoy paying some of my bills through my work for Christian publishers and organizations at suzanneburden.com. Here are a few articles I've contributed to Christianity Today's Gifted for Leadership blog: "Leading in the Midst of Woundedness" and "A Pink Flamingo in a Sea of Blue Herons." As well as a few sermons you might enjoy: "Know God, Know Deliverance" and "Why Women Matter to God." And, yes, I am attempting to learn how to play the guitar at age 39. More on that later!
I'm thrilled to be married to a man who loves others in the name of Jesus as well—his name is David. In short, my life is full and I blog when I can. You can reach me at suzanneburden @ gmail.com.
Shalom!
