The Crisis of Theological Illiteracy w/ Nathan Finochio (Part 1)

from Strong Church · host TPUSA Faith

Pastor Lucas Miles and Nathan Finochio talk about one of the Church’s biggest blind spots: theological illiteracy. According to Nathan, the problem isn’t just that Christians don’t read their Bibles—it’s that many don’t even know what Christian doctrine is.They dive into the difference between theology and mere Bible familiarity, why many pastors avoid hard truths, and how doctrinal shallowness is hurting the Church’s witness in a post-Christian culture. It’s a conversation that calls both leaders and laypeople to go deeper—beyond slogans, beyond vibes, and into the actual substance of the faith.Topics Covered:The difference between biblical literacy and theological understandingWhy the Church must recover a love for doctrineThe danger of reducing Christianity to moralism or vibesThe importance of church tradition and historical groundingWhy catechesis and theological training should matter againDon’t Forget:Subscribe to Strong Church on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTubeShare this episode with your pastor, youth leader, or small groupFollow Us: Nathan Finochio → @nathanfinochio Lucas Miles → @mrlucasmiles TPUSA Faith → @tpusafaith
