Challenges in Theological Education
The contemporary theological education system faces significant challenges that hinder effective training for ministry. It traditionally removes students from their ministry contexts for three years, emphasizing outdated models that were established in the 19th century. Graduates often emerge burdened by debt, limiting their ability to accept ministry jobs due to financial obligations. The podcast highlights an initiative to revitalize theological education by bringing together innovative practitioners to discuss and develop new models that better meet today’s needs.
