Pastor Lucas Miles and Nathan Finochio talk about one of the Church’s biggest blind spots: theological illiteracy. According to Nathan, the problem isn’t just that Christians don’t read their Bibles—it’s that many don’t even know what Christian doctrine is.
They dive into the difference between theology and mere Bible familiarity, why many pastors avoid hard truths, and how doctrinal shallowness is hurting the Church’s witness in a post-Christian culture. It’s a conversation that calls both leaders and laypeople to go deeper—beyond slogans, beyond vibes, and into the actual substance of the faith.
Topics Covered:
The difference between biblical literacy and theological understanding
Why the Church must recover a love for doctrine
The danger of reducing Christianity to moralism or vibes
The importance of church tradition and historical grounding
Why catechesis and theological training should matter again
