TheoNow stems from this idea of encounter. Here you will find conversations with others about the Other in some way or another. It is beginning with a podcast where we will talk to individuals from different faith traditions seeking to understand more about them and their traditions. There are also conversations with Roman Catholic Seminarians training to become Priests of Jesus Christ. We will take a look at these men who are training to be the new servants and leaders in the Catholic Church. There will also be occasional theological topics covered and much more.
Alabama native and Crimson Tide alum Thomas Lapointe thrills us with his calculated life's journey until one day, his Publix paradise is turned on its head, and the path to priesthood is opened. We also take a look at the concept of solidarity, our responsibility to those in need in the world and back home.
Bridging the space between the rigorous and brilliant academic and the small country pastor, Rev. Dr. William McDonald illuminates his ecumenical past and present as an ordained Methodist Minister and Lutheran Pastor while treading the ever-changing landscape of youth as Head of Religion and philosophy at Tennessee Wesleyan University.
Pastor Darrell Simbeck of Ascension Life Church in Athens, TN talks about being a pastor of a charismatic non-denominational church in a small town. Get an understanding of where he came from, a little about his theology, and his wild conversion story which includes God, Gifts, Guitars, and G.I.s!
Today we discuss with Reverend David Graybeal the Methodist Church, his path into ministry, and what the United Methodist Church is facing in the future. We touch on aspects of Ecclesiology and Soteriology and of course hit The Trinity of Questions at the end. It's a great first episode for TheoNow!
