Pastor Scholar Podcast
Does what happens in the church influence academia? Does academia influence the church? Join Ryan Day, founding pastor of Revolve Bible Church, and Dr. Cory Marsh, author, editor, and professor of New Testament at Southern California Seminary as they aim to bridge the gap between academia and the church. Discussing such issues as the spiritual decline of churches and Christian engagement in today’s culture, you’ll be amazed at just how much the responses to these issues by both academia and the church influence one another.
