On this episode of the podcast, I had the privilege of chatting with Daniel Bein about his experience in seminary. A recent graduate from St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary (also known as St. Vlads), Daniel shares his journey of obtaining his Masters of Divinity. He speaks about misconceptions about seminary, different institutions, and how one can get started if they are interested in theological education. Daniel also speaks about how seminary education prepares individuals for deeper service.  Daniel recommends several resources for anyone who is interested in seminary or simply wants to connect more deeply with their faith: New Advent, a site for public domain patristic texts: <a href="https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/">https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/</a>    Ancient Faith Radio, a podcast: <a href="https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts">https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts</a> Bible Project, a podcast: <a href="https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/the-bible-project-podcast/">https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/the-bible-project-podcast/</a> He also recommends several books: For theology, An Introduction to God by Stephen Damick (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-God-Encountering-Orthodox-Christianity/dp/1936270994">https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-God-Encountering-Orthodox-Christianity/dp/1936270994</a>),  and For the Life of the World by Fr.
