It’s Elementary - Episode 19 - “Theological Musings from the Road”
from It’s Elementary - An Asbury Theological Seminary Podcast · host Asbury Theological Seminary
In this episode, Dr. David Watson and Dr. Jessica LaGrone step back from interviews to share insights gathered from months of travel across the country. From seminary conferences and campus ministry visits to worship gatherings and leadership meetings, they explore how theology is lived, questioned, and rediscovered in real places by real people. As they recount conversations with students, pastors, scholars, and church leaders, this episode examines spiritual hunger in a moment shaped by post–cultural Christianity, the decline of “beige” faith, and the renewed desire for depth, orthodoxy, and embodied discipleship. They reflect on what they are seeing among college students, Gen Z, clergy, and lay leaders—and why curiosity about God, Scripture, and tradition remains strong, even in a fragmented religious landscape.
