Here is the question. I currently cant say that I want to be a preacher or a missionary. I have said for a few years now, and say now that i want to go to seminary to learn much more deeply about Scripture- particularly in reading in original tounges. Ive expressed this to my youth pastor- he sees that I have an inward desire but he has this idea- as do maybe my pastors too that I need an outward call? is this random people saying you should go to seminary?

furthermore, I understand that seminary is intense, and that its often a Masters degree. However 1) Im not interested enough in any regular Bachelors degree to get it- Id rather get a B Div- don't know why, thats just been how ive thought.
2) Im not touting myself, but based of my previous theological reading habits, I beileve i could do it successfully- maybe not full time even.

I guess, whats the advice? it seems my home church wont give me the necessary session recommendation.
