Any Advice?

Would God call my husband to a ministry, then not give him the means to accomplish it?

Brad feels God has placed a call on his life to become a marriage counselor, especially to help men struggling with sexual issues.

The trouble is he needs a degree in marriage and therapy counseling to do this. The bigger trouble is that getting a master's degree is very, very expensive. The biggest trouble is that we do not have any money.

So what to do? We are determined not to take out another student loan (we're still paying off a student loan from a "going-back-to-school" stint my husband did a few years ago. )As strong as Brad feels this call on his life, we feel just as strongly about staying away from more crippling debt.

So what do we do?

Brad has applied to Liberty University. They offer the degree online. That would be the ideal setup. He could keep his day job and go to school too.

Does anyone know of a good grant, scholarship program, etc., for adults wanting to further their education? What do you think of the idea of us asking our church to help us? Or his parents? We're just not sure what to do.

Thanks for letting me vent my thoughts, however scattered they may be.

I hope you all had a worshipful experience at church this morning.

Love you guys.
