This is a big deal!

We are honored to receive a $15M gift from the Paul S. & Jean R. Amos Family Foundation to launch a new Ph.D. in Theology and establish an endowed chair. This transformative gift will shape future scholars for the Church, the academy, and beyond. Link: asbury.to/amos

One of the things I have really appreciated about my time in Tulsa has been learning about the importance of culture in an organization. I wrote a post about one very specific way we do this at Asbury Church: kevinmwatson.com/2025/10/29/cul…

Underground Seminary is back! Come and hear from Asbury Church's Senior Pastor, Rev. Andrew Forrest, as he discusses his brand new book Love Goes First. This is going to be a challenging and fun conversation! Details here: kevinmwatson.com/2025/10/08/und…

I am really sorry to hear this. We were seriously considering the University of Tulsa because of @jennfrey's leadership, Honors, and the National Merit scholarship. This eliminates TU from our consideration. I'll continue to root for TU. But this is a bad look.

Two years ago, I moved to Tulsa to become the inaugural dean of a new honors college.  Then President @bradrcarson convinced me to leave my endowed position at Carolina to build the university’s sixth college. I am so proud of all we accomplished over the last two years 🧵(1/21)



I agree. Connection to and dependence on the church is essential for sound theological education.

This post is unavailable.

Better late than never!

I finally got a copy of “Doctrine, Spirit & Discipline” by @kevinwatson. Really looking forward to reading this!

This is a fascinating and important read. The market is rapidly and dramatically changing in higher education. Seminaries are no exception.

I am learning to listen to the Holy Spirit when I teach. This has taken effort and practice. It is also vulnerable (like when I felt led to offer to pray for deliverance at my last intensive). What a fun journey! Some thoughts here: kevinmwatson.com/2025/04/24/ref…


I taught two intensives for Asbury Theological Seminary the past month. I have been thinking about what I've learned and what I've seen the Lord do this semester. I wanted to share a few highlights: kevinmwatson.com/2025/04/24/ref…


The people I have seen really grow and thrive in their lives in Christ all have one thing in common: They are anchored within a family of faith that provides care, nurture, and discipline. Announcing the Asbury Fellowship Program: kevinmwatson.com/2025/04/15/ann…


I am starting a Fellowship Program at Asbury Church, starting in August! We will hire two Fellows. These will be two full-time paid positions, with benefits. I am most excited by the opportunity to build into these folks. Gonna be fun! Details here: kevinmwatson.com/2025/04/15/ann…
