“I think any role we play as professors here is way beyond the classroom,” Sieberhagen explains. “I think it’s a life calling. This is not a job.”
For Sieberhagen, part of his calling to serve at Southwestern is seeing “every student I have [as] an opportunity to disciple somebody and to see how it can help them in their call to ministry, specifically missions.”
