About this listen

Think theology is too complicated for regular people? Think again.

In this episode, we're tackling the biggest misconception about theology: that it's only for pastors and seminary students. The truth? You're already doing theology every time you think about God. The only question is whether you're doing GOOD theology or bad theology. Discover why understanding who God really is changes everything—your relationships, your decisions, and how you handle everyday stress.

"The question isn't whether you're going to do theology. The question is whether you're going to do good theology or bad theology."

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

  • Theology simply means "the study of God" — and you're already doing it every day
  • The real question isn't whether you'll do theology, but whether you'll do good or bad theology
  • Knowing God through Scripture beats guessing or making assumptions about Him


Practical Applications:

  • Theology gives you an anchor in life's storms
  • Theology transforms your relationships
  • Theology gives you confidence in decision-making


Your Assignment This Week: Pay attention to the theology you're already doing. When you think about God, pray, or face difficulties, notice what assumptions you're making about who God is — and whether those assumptions come from Scripture or somewhere else.

💬 Community Question: What's one area of theology — maybe the Trinity, or how prayer works, or why bad things happen — that has always felt intimidating or confusing to you, but now you're curious to understand better?
