Finally, they touched on Hanna's future plans, including the possibility of starting a PhD program and her continued involvement with the Redemption community.

In this brief interview, Dr. Joel Wingo, Redemption’s Academic Dean, sits down with Adam—a lifelong church servant, elder, teacher, and ministry leader—to talk about his journey into theological education and how Redemption fit seamlessly into his life and calling.

Adam shares what first prompted him to consider seminary after decades of faithful ministry, how he wove Redemption’s coursework into the early-morning study routine he already loved, and why moving from self-directed learning to a structured program turned out to be far more enjoyable than he expected.

He reflects on the courses that stretched him the most, the capstone project that strengthened his preaching, and the steady pace that allowed him to finish the program in just over two years without disrupting his ministry or professional responsibilities. Adam also offers practical advice for anyone considering the program—especially those with established routines or busy schedules—and describes how Redemption helped deepen his reading, sharpen his thinking, and enrich his discipleship of others.

If you’re wondering what Redemption Seminary is really like for a committed church leader, Adam’s story is an encouraging and honest look at how a guided, mentor-based program can fuel growth, strengthen ministry, and fit into the rhythms of everyday life.
