Pillsbury College & Seminary-Equipping Ministers and Training Counselors through Affordable Distance Learning Education
   

Expository Studies by Private Mentoring 


Dr. Curt Scarborough, founder and Chancellor of Pillsbury College & Seminary, is available to mentor a limited number of mid-career Christian ministers on a one-on-one basis. He will personally tutor mature graduate-level students one day per month . . . any day of the week except Sunday.

Here's how this Expository Studies program works:

1. A minister enrolls in the Expository Studies track, agreeing to spend a minimum of 10 hours a week in disciplined private devotions under the guidance of Dr. Curt Scarborough.

2. The goal is to develop personal and practical notes on selected portions of Scripture within one year (on all 260 chapters in the New Testament, for example). The mentoring partner will write on at least five chapters each week, focusing on a few chosen verses in each chapter and using a suggested simple outline:
(1) Concentration
(2) Meditation
(3) Revelation
(4) Applications
3. Every four to six weeks, the mentoring partner will meet with Dr. Scarborough personally (or by telephone or online) to review the work, to compare spiritual insights, to discuss revealed truths, and to sharpen each other's ministry skills. (See Rom. 1:11-12). At each monthly meeting, the previous month's work will be reviewed and discussed, new assignments will be made, and the next appointment will be scheduled.

4. At the end of one year, the mentoring partner in this example would have produced a 260-page personal and practical devotional commentary on the entire New Testament . . . to use in his preaching and teaching, to publish as a book, to preserve and pass along to this family, and to serve as a resource for mentoring others.
