Hello,
I am Joel Rodriguez. I just started the PhD in Biblical Studies (tuition-free program). I am originally from Puerto Rico but live in North Carolina. I've been married for 27 years and have two grown up kids. I retired from the military last year after almost 25 years. I currently work in the consulting field as employee training lead/instructional systems designer. I have 16 years experience as military Chaplain Assistant and Independent Minister/Chaplain.
Personal Goals: To complete the Biblical Studies degree to accomplish the following: (1) Enhance my biblical knowledge, (2) Find ways to share the Word of God, and (3) Use a robust biblical framework for discipleship development.
Nice to meet you - God bless you all!
Joel - Congrats on taking the leap and joining the class. I look forward to furthering ministry here together!! Blessings!!
