Welcome to Church Chat, the show that has the conversations about ministry you wish you were having. Today, we're talking to Greg Strand, EFCA Executive Director of Theology and Credentialing. We chat about doctrinal purity, the significance of silence, theological guardrails, EFCA's denials and affirmations, cancel culture and the Church, theological anthropology, the next generation of theologians, and re-framing deconstruction.

Greg Strand is EFCA executive director of theology and credentialing, and he serves on the Board of Ministerial Standing as well as the Spiritual Heritage Committee. He and his family are members of Northfield (Minnesota) EFC.
