From Martha Peace ~ a 2023 MABC Graduate

Almost two years ago when I began my journey to complete my Master of Arts Degree in Biblical Counseling, I was very unsure if I could do it – especially at my age. However, I thought I would try it because Baptist Bible Theological Seminary had a totally online MABC degree that was new. I found out that I could not only do it, but I learned a lot that I did not know – in spite of my years of experience as a biblical counselor. I loved every course that I took and Doctor Carson was an exceptional professor. His lectures were compelling and clear. The assignments were well thought out, as well as the interaction with the other students surprisingly robust in spite of being online. I would highly recommend the Baptist Bible Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri to you whether you attend class in person or online.  Their classes were thoroughly biblical and God-honoring, and you will not be sorry that you enrolled. — Martha Peace, MABC, BSN
