The Intersection with Dr. J + Friends


In this episode of The Intersection, Dr. J chats with Adsum Try Ravenhill for a rich and down-to-earth conversation about the role of theology in the everyday life of faith. Together, they explore three major types of theology—biblical, systematic, and historical—and why understanding them matters not just for scholars, but for everyday believers seeking to grow in wisdom, worship, and wonder.


With clarity and insight (+ a few laughs), Adsum helps unpack how each theological lens contributes to our understanding of who God is and what that means for how we live. From the storyline of Scripture to the doctrines that hold our faith together to the legacy of the saints who have gone before, theology is not just abstract ideas but a practical and powerful invitation into deeper discipleship.


Whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned thinker, this episode offers an accessible entry point to the world of theology. If you’ve ever wondered how theology connects to real life or how studying God leads to worship and mission, this conversation is for you.
