1465. Why the Church Needs Pastor Theologians (Not Just Pastors) w/ Dr. Gary L. Shultz

What does it really mean to be a pastor theologian?

In this episode of the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with Dr. Gary L. Shultz (Baptist University of Florida) to explore the vocational identity of the pastor theologian—and why this calling matters for the health of the church today.

Drawing from Dr. Shultz’s recent article in the Center for Pastor Theologians Journal, the conversation tackles questions like:

• What distinguishes a pastor from a pastor theologian?

• Why not every pastor should be called a pastor theologian

• How “theological anemia” weakens churches

• The ministry of the Word beyond preaching alone

• How theology should flow from—and serve—the local church

• Why platform-building culture clashes with pastoral vocation

• Practical steps pastors can take to grow theologically without leaving their calling

This episode is especially for pastors, ministry leaders, seminarians, and anyone concerned about the theological depth of today’s church.
