We have the privilege of interviewing Pastor Sunday Adelaja, author of Church Shift and The Kingdom Driven Life, and founder of Embassy of God in Kiev, Ukraine, the largest Christian Assembly in Europe. This may be the most significant interview ever from a global, kingdom perspective. Adelaja’s journey as a world renowned mentor reads like a movie script. This brother, who is truly an ‘organic reconstructionist,’ a ‘kingdom builder’ with no theological or formal bible training, has nevertheless spoken before the UN, the US Senate, and legislative bodies around the world, having planted over 3,000 faith for all of life congregations in 50 countries.

The Problem with Seminaries
Written by Gary North
So, you want to become a minister. First, however, you need training. You think you should go to seminary. A word of warning: seminaries are staffed by people who learned to write term papers in their teens or early twenties, and who then decided to parlay that peculiar skill into lifetime employment. Seminaries are not staffed by successful ex-pastors; successful pastors remain in the ministry. Seminaries are staffed by baptized college professors who chose to specialize in a field so obscure that no college has a sufficient number of students to make hiring them come close to paying off.
