Making Theology Practical: Arturo Cuba’s Challenge | DNA Forum 2025 Special

Ideas Have Consequences

What if the key to transforming communities isn’t money, resources, or even a buttoned-up theology—but something far more foundational?

In this special episode, we’re giving you a taste of the kind of teaching you’ll experience at the upcoming DNA Forum this August in Panama City, Panama. Join us as we revisit a compelling keynote from our last Forum, delivered by one of DNA’s most influential trainers, Arturo Cuba.

Drawing from over two decades of grassroots discipleship in rural Latin America, Cuba challenges conventional evangelical thinking with bold clarity: “People do not live out of theologies. People live out of the things that make sense in their lives.” His message unpacks how biblical principles—taught as life-shaping truths rather than abstract theology—have the power to bring deep, lasting change.

Want more of this kind of insight? You don't want to miss the 2025 DNA Forum happening August 4–8 in Panama City, Panama. Our theme: The Essential Role of the Local Church in Discipling Nations.
