Equipping the Church Worldwide: Building Seminaries and Training Leaders with John Miller

What if every pastor had access to deep, biblical theological training—no matter where they lived?

In this episode, we sit down with John Miller, Vice President and Academic Dean at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary, whose mission is nothing short of transformational. With a burning passion to equip indigenous pastors, John is spearheading efforts to plant seminaries around the world, ensuring that church leaders in Africa, Asia, and beyond have the theological foundation they need to shepherd their congregations faithfully.

John shares his personal journey—how God led him from the classroom to the frontlines of global theological training. He paints a picture of the urgent need for solid biblical education in regions where pastors often lead churches with little to no formal training. We’ll hear powerful stories from his work overseas, the challenges of building sustainable seminaries, and why equipping local leaders is the key to lasting gospel impact.
