In this episode, Dr. James Arcadi and Dr. Madison Pierce interview Dr. Steven C. Roy, Chair of the Pastoral Theology Department, Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology, at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Madison and James learn more about Steve's background, especially his work in systematic theology, and how that shapes his theology of worship and pastoral care. Steve also shares his desire to create space for "lament" in our corporate worship gatherings and then offers his perspectives about some of the most important thing that he feels are facing people in ministry today.

Be sure to tune in to learn more about Steve and his life shaped by pastoral care, and here's some of his recent work:

• "Broken Hearts and Bold Faith: Psalm 74 and the Power of Lament" (EFCA Today, 2015)
• What God Thinks When We Fail (IVP, 2011)

And before the interview, we learn a little about the "critical reception" of James' recent book in the Arcadi household...
