If You’re a Pastor, You’re Already a Theologian — Here’s Why with Joel Lawrence
Manage episode 500971202 series 3680716
Why are pastors the de facto theological leaders of the church? What is a pastor theologian? Why do we need pastors to embrace their theological identity? In this episode, we'll hear from Dr. Joel Lawrence, who is president of the Center for Pastor Theologians (CPT). We talk about the difference between academic theology and ecclesial theology, and why the natural home of theology is the church.
