This is Going to BE Fun

Melissa Zaldivar

Hey! I’m Melissa Zaldivar, a two-time author, podcast host, aunt to ten, sandwich-lover, and Truth Cheerleader… and I’m going back to seminary!

After graduating from Gordon-Conwell in 2015 with a Master of Arts in Theology, I spent a few years in nonprofits and in publishing. Now I’m taking counseling courses part-time while I work full-time.

If I learned anything from my first round in seminary, it’s that we’re never done learning, we’re always in process, and we can expect the unexpected. This is going to be fun (and challenging), so follow along on Instagram!

Want to know if this might be a good fit for you too?

What am I studying?

You might be asking yourself why I decided to take counseling courses. Well, I want to be equipped with the essential tools for walking alongside others with an informed approach. As I write about everything from Christian-based humor to losing a beloved friend to a terrible disease, I’m realizing there’s a deep need for understanding the human mind and loving others well with intention and compassion. I want to be intentional with the words I write, the ways I lead, and the encouragement I speak over the people I care about. And Gordon-Conwell is just the place to equip me for that.

I can’t wait to share this experience with you.

How Might You Need Equipping?

However God is calling you and has placed you, Gordon-Conwell equips women and men with rigorous theological education, deep spiritual formation, and practical ministry skills.
