What Does it Mean to be a Momma Theologian?

What thoughts come to your mind when you hear the word “theologian”? You may imagine an older man, wearing thick glasses, sitting in an office decorated with multiple degrees; someone academic, philosophical and smart. Maybe you think it’s a title for seminary professors, your pastor or authors of Christian books. Sometimes this title is understood to be similar to that of an astronaut: Years upon years of training, launching into the vastness of outer space, circulating high above the earth. While there’s a holy wonder in traveling the cosmos, it’s hard to understand the relevance to our own, everyday lives, planted firmly on earthly soil. Is this how you envision “theologians?” - - Momma Theologians Contributor Amber Thiessen Amber loves equipping women to navigate the chaos and calm of life’s changes by applying the gospel to everyday moments.
