Bringing Theology Down to Earth with Dr. Mario Hood

Our brilliant mind this week is international scholar, professor, and pastor Dr. Mario Hood, associate pastor at Church on the Living Edge in Orlando, Florida. A good friend of Jacob's from seminary, Mario didn't grown up as a Christian - or as a person who expected to get a doctoral degree - but he ended up at a Christian college where his spiritual and academic journey began. He shares with us the philosophy of "paracletic leadership" - or sprit-filled, relational leadership - and his belief that theology done well is very practical. This understanding, especially as it relates to doing ministry with Gen Z and the next generation, has been influenced by his professors, by the people he does ministry with, and by his students today.
