Global U Podcast Ep 1: The "Votech of Ministry Training": A Deep Dive into Berean School of the Bible with Dr. Mario Duque

Welcome to the Global University podcast, a new series where we interview key leaders to explore how GU is transforming lives and serving congregations nationally and internationally. In this inaugural episode, host John Baker (International Advancement Director at Global University) sits down with Dr. Mario Duque, the Dean of Berean School of the Bible. Dr. Duque shares his powerful journey from over 25 years as a U.S. missionary and church planter to his current role equipping the next generation of leaders. Join them for a detailed discussion on the mission, history, and future of Berean School of the Bible. Dr. Duque explains why he calls Berean the "Votech of ministry training" and how its flexible, asynchronous learning model is designed for everyone—from working mothers and second-career individuals to lay leaders and those seeking ministerial credentials. In this episode, you’ll learn: The history of Berean, from its 1948 origins as a correspondence school to its vital role within Global University today. How Berean’s self-paced, affordable model (starting at $95 per course) makes ministry training accessible to anyone, anywhere. How pastors and church leaders can partner with Berean to create study groups and train their local teams. The diverse student body and the languages Berean serves in the U.S. (English, Spanish, and French). The future of Berean includes a comprehensive revision of all 28 courses required for Assemblies of God credentials, as well as the development of new continuing education courses.
