This episode is about theology. Theology can be a big, intimidating topic for some people. Maybe you think theology doesn’t really apply to you, that it's a topic for other people to think about and you’ll just hear about it from your pastor or priest. Well what if we were to tell you that theology is truly, genuinely not scary but instead something so intimately associated with you and who you are that you can think about and exercise theology in your own life. So the question for today is how can I walk the theological life?
In this episode host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Timothy Gaines, associate professor of religion at Trevecca Nazarene University and author of the new book, Walking the Theological Life. In this conversation, Tim and Jason talk about what theology is and why it’s not as scary as it sounds, the difference between living theologically and living secularly, what we can learn about walking theologically through the lives of people in the Bible, and much more.
