Wiley’s World (ft. C.R. Wiley)
The most interesting man in Presbyterianism, C.R. Wiley, joins the American Reformer crew to talk about seminaries, pastoring, and how to walk into a hospital like you own the place.
In Episode 34 of The American Reformer Podcast, Josh Abbotoy, Timon Cline, and Chris Wiley engage in a candid discussion about the need for a shift in the approach to pastoral training. Drawing from their experiences and observations, they explore the limitations of current seminary models, emphasizing the importance of cultivating pastors who are not only well-versed in theology but also competent, compelling, and community-oriented.
Listen in for a fresh perspective on what it truly means to be a pastor—one who can bridge the gap between the pulpit and the community, embodying a comprehensive understanding of spiritual leadership in the 21st century.
