: The Seminary System & the Call Back to Local-Church Discipleship
In this week’s Memorable Monday, Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church continues the journey through the Council of Trent, focusing on the historic moment in 1563 when Rome mandated diocesan seminaries to reform and standardise its priesthood. While acknowledging the significant impact this system had on shaping Catholic clergy for centuries, Rocky takes listeners back to Scripture to consider a more foundational question: How did God design future shepherds to be raised? Drawing from Daniel’s experience in Babylon and the New Testament model of local-church discipleship, this episode challenges the institutional training model and calls believers to recover the biblical pattern—shepherds formed by shepherds, within the life of the flock. A timely reminder that ministry preparation belongs not primarily to schools, but to the church Christ purchased with His own blood. #MemorableMonday #ChurchHistory #CouncilOfTrent #SeminarySystem #LocalChurchDiscipleship #BiblicalModel #PastoralTraining #LSB #LetsTalkRadio #RockyStevenson #ShepherdTheFlock #Acts20 #Titus1 #2Timothy2 #Daniel1
