Deirdre and Josh are joined by Kris Veldheer to discuss the chapter, "The Dramatic Shifts in Theological Education: A Grounded Theory Approach," co-authored with Kelly D. Campbell.

In this episode, Deirdre is joined by Joseph Lough for a discussion of co-host Josh Davis' chapter of the book, "In this Interregnum, a Great Variety of Morbid Symptoms Appear: Seminaries and Local Formation in This Crucial Moment for Theological Education." Deirdre and Josh are joined by Joe Lough, another contributor to the book. Join us for this conversation about the economics of theological education, the place of the teaching office in the church, and how providing for theological education (and paying teachers!) is a matter of pastoral care.

In this episode, Deirdre and Josh are joined by Joseph W. H. Lough to discuss his chapter, "The End of Seminary." They talk about cathedral bells, "Fourth Great Awakening," and why churches providing resources to theological schools is part of what it means to take the incarnation seriously. 

Prof Katie Day discusses with Deirdre & Josh the importance of leadership models not only for effectiveness but for integrity since students in formation at these schools experience such leadership directly.

“Uncle Ed, why do you believe in God?” Dean Edwin Aponte’s niece asked him one glorious summer day as they strolled down the New Jersey boardwalk. Join Dean Aponte as he seeks to give reasons for hope (I Peter 3:15) to this unexpected yet serious query, addressing a direct and heartfelt question with respect and kindness by drawing on his professional knowledge of ways theological education speaks to issues of faith and belief in well-nigh hopeless times.
