113: Substantive Stories | From Isolation to Community feat. Myles Werntz

It won't take you long listening to this one to realize that something's a little different. All three hosts have been busy recently and Trevor & Vincent were unable to make this recording so Philip is hosting solo here. Thankfully we have a wonderful guest so he won't be monologuing. Philip is joined here by Myles Werntz (Peacemonger). Myles is Associate Professor of Theology and Director of Baptist Studies at Abilene Christian University, Grad School of Theology. He also is an author of multiple books (with more than one book that released this year alone!), the most recent of which is From Isolation To Community: A Renewed Vision For Christian Life Together from Baker Academic. As you may imagine by the title, this is another episode heavily featuring theology of place. They also look at the role of The Church & churches. Why do we assemble together and what are we trying to accomplish? Myles also presents an impassioned case for not only church membership but denominational/traditional commitment over the long haul.  We hope that you are encouraged and edified! If you are, consider sharing with a friend or on social media. Have a great week and we'll be back in your feed on the 20th!
