Recalibrating Theological Education for Mission

What this episode covers

The global church is growing faster than leaders are being trained. How can theological education rise to meet this urgent need? In this episode, we unpack the ICETE Manifesto II and explore why theological education must be re-centered on God’s mission. Together we discuss:• What it means to integrate mission and theology• How COVID reshaped seminaries and training programs worldwide• Lausanne’s challenge to conduct a “missional audit”• Why theological education must serve the church’s mission—not just its own survivalThe reality is stark: while the U.S. has one pastor for every 230 people, many regions have only 1 for every 450,000. Renewal isn’t enough—this is a call to recalibrate theological education to equip leaders for the future of the global church.Links:• ICETE Manifesto II: https://icete.info/resources/the-icete-manifesto/• The Hope of the Gospel by Mark Young: https://www.amazon.com/Hope-Gospel-Theological-Education-Evangelicalism/dp/0802878865• Lausanne: https://lausanne.org/
