About the Forums

Each month, Reformed Theological Seminary Jackson hosts an Online Discussion Forum moderated by Dr. Ligon Duncan, Chancellor and CEO of Reformed Theological Seminary. During the discussion, an RTS Jackson faculty member addresses a topic within their area of expertise, and questions from the audience are addressed. These monthly events are designed to help both alumni and friends, as well as current and prospective students, by aiding growth in their personal lives, and motivating them to Christian service. Additionally, participants are entered into a book giveaway related to the topic.

Dr. Ligon Duncan says of the events: “I learn so much leading these interviews and discussions, and I delight to see old friends and make new ones. The questions that come from our guests have been excellent, and I think the growing and enthusiastic response we’ve had speaks for itself. I hope you’ll join us regularly for this enjoyable and informative time of fellowship and conversation.”
