Ep. 21: ANDY NASELLI | Teaching Theology through Stories

from Of Flames and Crowns · host New Saint Andrews College

Children need more than entertainment—they need stories that shape their souls. When rooted in sound theology, stories become vessels of truth, carrying the mighty works of God to the next generation. Theology was never meant to remain locked in ivory towers, nor storytelling confined to shallow sentimentality. Together, they forge a powerful tool for cultural and spiritual renewal. In this episode, Lennox Kalifungwa is joined by Andy Naselli—a theologian, preacher, and soon-to-be pastor who lives at the intersection of doctrine and imagination. Andy is Professor of Systematic Theology and New Testament at Bethlehem College and Seminary in Minneapolis and is preparing to step into the role of lead pastor at Christ the King Church in Stillwater.
