Linval London
I've been in Seventh-day Adventist ministry for over a decade, and I remember the frustration of spending my entire Monday preparing for one Sabbath sermon — cross-referencing the SDA Bible Commentary by hand, searching through Ellen G. White's books one by one, and still feeling like I might be missing something important. Logos Bible Software transformed my study life, but it took me years of trial and error to figure out how to use it effectively as an Adventist minister — because most tutorials out there simply don't speak our language or know our sources. I created this course to give you the shortcut I never had. My goal is simple: to hand you a fully configured, SDA-ready Logos workspace and the skills to use it confidently, so you can spend less time searching and more time praying, pastoring, and preaching.
