Chris Vogel interviews Brian Lum Shue Chan about LAMP Seminary, a theological education provider that prepares individuals for leadership roles within the church. The main advantage of LAMP for Brian, and many others, is its accessibility, as it is facilitated at the local church level, making it a viable option for those who cannot relocate for a brick and mortar seminary. Lamp also enables single-course study, making it easier for people juggling responsibilities such as full-time jobs and families. Check out this week's episode to learn more!

According to the CDC, one in four adults and one in six children in America have a disability. Yet the church rarely talks about how to best engage with that significant portion of our communities. Engaging Disability With The Gospel is a ministry of Mission to North America that serves PCA churches and beyond to help individuals and families living with disabilities be included and thrive at church.
