Growing up in a Christian home, Tommy learned firsthand the importance of discipleship and fellowship with other Christians. From volunteering as a camp counselor and working in business to his journey to TEDS, Tommy is always seeking opportunities to build up the body of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>LOVE FOR DISCIPLESHIP<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the uncertainty of COVID-19 pandemic, Tommy took that season to explore other career paths. He viewed the pandemic as an opportunity to try something new, and he began to see God\u2019s hand in this uncertainty. \u201cMy heart was slowly moving towards pursuing ministry,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a desire to follow the Lord and explore what was next, Tommy reached out to the church he attended in college\u2014Blackhawk Church, an Evangelical Free Church in Madison, Wisconsin\u2014to see if he could intern there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His internship was spent leading small groups and meeting one-on-one with students, which is where his love for mentorship, discipleship, and counseling grew. Knowing he wanted to continue to serve the church, Tommy applied to TEDS because he knew he could get a sound theological education and an accredited counseling degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe special thing about being at Trinity is that while we are focused on building skills needed to go out into the workforce, wherever we\u2019re called to be, we are focused on understanding our identity in Christ,\u201d Tommy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Besides receiving endless recommendations from his pastors, TEDS passed his other litmus test: \u201cSomething I always look for when I move to someplace new is a good church and a good volleyball league.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img width=\"350\" height=\"266\" data-public-id=\"trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-858 wp-image-859 alignright\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_350,h_266,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Tommy Gullberg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1702073024\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_350,h_266,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 3024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_2048,h_1555,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 2048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_1848,h_1403,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 1848w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_1648,h_1251,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 1648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_1448,h_1099,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 1448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_1248,h_947,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 1248w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_1048,h_796,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 1048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_848,h_644,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 848w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_648,h_492,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_448,h_340,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/w_248,h_188,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1702073024\/trinity_newsroom\/IMG_0877\/IMG_0877.jpg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3024px) 100vw, 3024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>COACHING<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upon arriving at TEDS, Tommy began to look for ways to get involved.
