Welcome

Thanks for visiting me here at Practical Theologian. Theology shapes how we understand God, ourselves, others, and our world. It also determines our roles and responsibilities in the home, the church, at work, and in the world. Further, theology informs our belief constructs and thoughts, our affections and emotions, and ultimately our choices and habits. There’s hardly anything more relevant, urgent, and practical to daily life than right theology rightly applied.

It’s my hope you’ve stumbled onto something insightful, practical, and genuinely encouraging in your walk with Jesus Christ.
