Training Isn't Enough: Forming Christlike Leaders That Last

from Reimagining Theological Education Together (RTET) · host Michael A. Oritz

Are seminaries and Bible colleges truly forming Christlike leaders—or just delivering content? Despite thousands of theological training programs worldwide, many remain overly Western, disconnected from local contexts, and weak in cultivating transformed character. In this episode, you'll discover:- Why more content isn’t the same as more transformation- How “polycentric” and indigenous models are reshaping global theological education- Practical ways to assess real character and spiritual growth in ministry training- How local leaders are creating context-based programs in Africa, Asia, and Latin AmericaTrue theological education isn’t about information—it’s about formation. Join us as we reimagine how to equip leaders who reflect Christ and renew the church worldwide.Resources:• ICETE Manifesto II https://icete.info/resources/the-icete-manifesto/
