Join us for a deep dive into Pete Ward's "Introducing Practical Theology," where we explore how theology is lived out in everyday Christian life. This episode unpacks Ward's distinctive approach, moving beyond traditional academic boundaries to highlight practical theology as an inclusive, ecclesial discipline. We'll discuss how believers are "skilled practical theologians" through their engagement in church life, emphasizing the intertwining of theology and practice. Discover the five ordinary practices of practical theology—remembering, absorbing, noticing, selecting/editing, and expressing—and learn how the gospel fundamentally shapes this dynamic field. Whether you're a seasoned theologian or new to the concept, this conversation will illuminate how faith seeks understanding in the complexities of contemporary culture and lived experience.
