Even episodes covering more intimidating topics provide an incredibly helpful introduction to those topics that I likely would not otherwise have ever found.I know that this is probably a longer introduction than usual, but I can't help but take the opportunity to express my appreciation for the abundant and unique value which BiggerPockets provides to people like myself, who, frankly, just don't know where to start.A Little About MyselfI am currently a seminary student finishing up a Master's of Biblical Languages degree at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri.
