Exciting News: I Passed My PhD!
Dear friends,
I am thrilled to share that I received word today that I officially passed my PhD in Biblical Studies! This milestone marks the culmination of much dedication, late nights, and profound discoveries in exploring Scripture.
Throughout this journey, I have learned more than I ever anticipated not just about the Gospel, theology, and historical contexts, but also about perseverance, humility, and the power of community. The process has been transformative, deepening both my knowledge and my faith.
To those still on this path, I offer this encouragement: Trust in your calling. Every class you take, every paper you write, and every challenge you face is shaping you into a scholar and servant who can make a meaningful impact. Remember to stay curious, lean on your community for support, and celebrate the small victories along the way.
A very special thanks to Queens College administration for making this wonderful program available to us! Thank you to everyone here who has supported me during this journey. May you all find inspiration and strength in your studies as you pursue the truths that lie before you.
Warmly,
Larry Smith, PhD. (first time writing that just now)
