In this episode of Preachers in Training, Robert is joined by Wayne Jones, president of the Bear Valley Bible Institute and host of Authentically Adam here on The Light Network. Wayne brings decades of ministry experience and leadership insight to the conversation as he reflects on the lessons he’s learned beyond the classroom.

While preaching schools and Bible institutes provide excellent foundations in Scripture, theology, and communication, there are some lessons that only real-life ministry can teach. Wayne shares with honesty and wisdom about the realities of preaching that he didn’t fully grasp until he was already in the work.
