Seminary Wives Institute

• • • • •

At Southern Seminary, we recognize the need for God-called ministers’ wives to be prepared for ministry. We believe that a minister’s wife needs to be educated and equipped as she and her husband prepare for service in the churches and beyond.

The time a student wife is in the seminary setting with her husband is the perfect time to undertake this training. She has opportunity to network with other wives who are preparing for the place God has for them. She will benefit from her study with faculty wives who can share from their rich experience.

The courses in the Seminary Wives Institute (SWI) are designed to give ministers’ wives biblically based and practically applied teaching. They are taught by our own seminary faculty as well as faculty wives and guest speakers.

We are committed to make this institute a vital part of the seminary wife’s experience at Southern Seminary.

NewsNote: Where are the Young Men?
by R. Albert Mohler Jr.Feb 9

A visit to your local college or university campus is likely to reveal that a revolution has taken place. On many campuses, young women now outnumber young men, and a gender gap of momentous importance is staring us in the face.

Worshiping in the Dark?
by Greg BrewtonFeb 6

A while back I had the opportunity to join with a large group of high school students for a worship service. The worship songs were great, the preaching was Cross-centered, but the students worshiped in the dark during the musical portion of the service. The room was mostly dark except for the stage area where the worship band played.

Tebow Not the First
by Denny BurkFeb 5

I will never forget the 1986 Superbowl Championship when Phil Simms’ New York Giants defeated John Elway’s Denver Broncos. I was as proud as punch because my Dad had coached one of the Giants’ players when he was in high school—middle linebacker Gary Reasons.
