CFTROU 0178B: Bonus Episode – You Are A Theologian: An Invitation to Know and Love God Well
Theology reorients us to what is true, which is that God is the ultimate source of all things. It also has practical and daily applications that help us live life the way God intended and designed it. In this episode, we are happy to welcome Pastor J.T. English and renowned Bible teacher, Jen Wilkin. In addition to discussing theology, they also talk about their new book, You Are a Theologian: An Invitation to Know and Love God Well. You will hear about the relationship between biblical and theological literacy, how having a better understanding of theology can impact our churches, and the concept of deconstructing.
