“I realized my lack of education was a hurdle in ministry that I didn’t realize I was trying to run away from or climb over. Seeing what I’ve been able to learn and experience at CSU so far, I never want my education or lack of education to be another hurdle in ministry. I don’t want my lack of education to hinder me from going where I think God is leading me.”

Daniel Reider
