April 01, 2016 Why Does the Church Need to Keep Doing Good Theology? - KR 10
Theology needs the Church and the Church needs good theology. This episode dives into the reason of why the Church and Theology cannot be mutually exclusive.

Scot mentions three books to get started on the journey of doing good theology:
1) The Great Theologians: A Brief Guide by Gerald McDermott ( http://goo.gl/KWLrwi)
2) The Story of Christian Theology by Roger Olson (http://goo.gl/YpQ2po)

March 03, 2016 A Theology of Eucharist - KR 6

Jesus rooted the first Eucharist meal in the context of Passover and when the Church partakes in Eucharist today God is still growing roots of liberation into the lives of believers.
