No More Silos – Why We Should All Be Theologians Series
Why We Should All Be Theologians.
In our fast-paced, information-saturated world, the term “theologian” may conjure up images of ivory tower academics detached from the realities of everyday life. But nothing could be further from the truth. As followers of Christ, we are all called to engage in theology—the study of God and His ways—in our own unique way.
The Letter to the Hebrews reminds us of the importance of deepening our theological understanding. It challenges us to wrestle with profound questions about the nature of God, the meaning of salvation, and the significance of Christ’s sacrifice. But it also offers us hope and encouragement as we navigate the trials and tribulations of life.
One of the central themes of Hebrews is the concept of rest—a rest that goes beyond mere physical relaxation and encompasses the soul-deep peace that comes from trusting in God’s promises. The author exhorts us to enter into God’s rest, to cease our striving and find refuge in His presence.
In a culture that glorifies busyness and productivity, the idea of Sabbath rest may seem countercultural. But as theologians of the Christian faith, we are called to embody a different way of living—a way marked by rhythms of work and rest, of activity and contemplation.
So, dear friends, I invite you to embrace the theologian within you. Whether you’re a seasoned scholar or a newcomer to the faith, there is always more to discover about the depths of God’s love and the richness of His grace. Let us journey together, hand in hand, as we explore the mysteries of the gospel and allow its transformative power to shape our lives.
Thank you for tuning in to today’s episode of No More Silos. I am grateful for each and every one of you who joins me on this journey of faith and discovery. Until next time, may you find rest in the arms of the One who loves you beyond measure.
Grace and peace,
Dr. Erika Santiago
