What Does the Church Need from Its Theologians and Its Leaders? -Brown, De Chirico, and Szabados
Many Evangelical leaders underestimate the importance of robust, biblically grounded theology, while many theologians limit their calling to academic work rather than pastoral leadership. In this interview, Lindsay Brown and Leonardo De Chirico draw on their personal experience and the example of influential Evangelical theologians to explore the biblical vision of theologians as spiritually mature leaders who teach sound doctrine, refute false teaching, and shepherd God's people and the importance of Evangelical leaders holding fast to solid biblical theology. The conversation challenges Evangelical theologians and leaders to work together and embrace this calling by communicating biblical truth clearly, confronting error faithfully, and serving the Church with both conviction and pastoral care.
