The "devil’s blinking box," a wrestling scholar, and a confession. 06/12/2026

Last week, Northeastern Seminary welcomed Dr. Leonard Sweet for a powerful evening of reflection, scholarship, and faith as we celebrated the endowment of the Wayne and Darlene McCown Chair in New Testament Studies.

Drawing from his own journey of doubt, discovery, and discipleship, Dr. Sweet challenged us to pursue both rigorous learning and deep spiritual formation. His message was a fitting tribute to the McCowns' legacy of "knowledge and vital piety" and a reminder that the most important credential is simply this: to have been with Jesus.
