Training Our Minds
Training Our Minds ”to think God’s thoughts after Him” had its beginnings as a Sunday School class for 8th grade students through adults going through the Heidelberg Catechism. Once the class finished the catechism, Ben began the current study of Worldviews | Evangelism | Counseling to help equip members engage with the culture and share their faith with those who embrace different worldviews. Both classes are being uploaded to Seventh Reformed Church’s website and are now finally available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! Ben Bessett, Director of Outreach and Pastoral Care since May 2021, has also worked as a jail and hospital chaplain and a graduate of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary.
