Hanna Seymour — Fit for busy life
“I just don’t think I ever thought I’d be able to fit it in while I had three kids under three and a half years old—but here we are.”

“I just don’t think I ever thought I’d be able to fit it in while I had three kids under three and a half years old—but here we are.”
Hanna Seymour, MABS Graduate
Hanna began the program while raising three very young children and already carrying significant work, ministry, and family responsibilities. Her experience directly addresses a common concern: whether graduate theological education can realistically fit into an already full adult life.

Hanna Seymour — Purpose (Biblical Training)
“I knew I wanted to pursue a seminary degree for greater training to help me as I’m writing books and Bible studies and teaching the Bible.”
Hanna Seymour, MABS Graduate | Tennessee
“I knew I wanted to pursue a seminary degree for greater training to help me as I’m writing books and Bible studies and teaching the Bible.”
Hanna Seymour, MABS Graduate
Hanna was already actively writing and teaching Scripture when she enrolled, so she was not pursuing the degree merely to enter ministry later. She saw the value of formal theological education for people already serving who want to become more careful, informed, and effective in that calling.
