Balancing Faith and Scholarship

When it comes to the Christian life Orthodoxy (right belief), Orthopraxy (right practice), and Doxology (worship) work together like a 3-fold braided cord. If any of the 3 are compromised, the whole cord suffers. So, at Westminster, we don't just commit to theological education in the abstract. Some might be tempted to say "I'm just going to study theology and not worry about my moral life, my personal relationship with God, or the quality of my worship. I'll deal with those things later." To do so is actually to misunderstand theology in the first place. You cannot have good theology without a heart for the Lord. In this episode Nate Shannon sits down with Jerry McFarland to discuss how Westminster commits the sanctification of our student body.
