A Good Mix: Curiosity and the Gospel Wednesday, March 10, 2021 @ 12:11 PM Preparing for the gospel ministry? Bring a strong curiosity. I came by it honestly. My dad, a coal miner with a 7th-grade education, was interested in everything. He read and learned and talked to us about all kinds of subjects. In college, I changed my major from science (physics) to history because the professors in the science building were focusing more and more on tinier and tinier segments of the universe, whereas history deals with the entire sweep of life, every person who ever lived, every civilization, every lesson learned. Nothing is off-limits to history.
