Summer Programs 2026 is coming!

In this catch-up and course preview conversation, Claire and Rachel reconnect with Dr. Elizabeth Sung, who shares her journey through systematic theology to moral theology and questions of spiritual formation. She shares her reflections on the good life and how biblical principles from the gospel can transform our understanding of flourishing here and now. She shares her lived experience and perspectives on the depth and breadth of salvation, love, shalom, and spiritual formation. Lisa offers reflections on the particular pitfalls of "false gospels," the expansiveness of agape love, and the delusions of the false self. Lisa shares her insights and takeaways from the Scriptures, the writings of Dallas Willard, and other key theologians and spiritual writers in ways that have touched and formed her own life.

Lisa's Bio

Elizabeth (Lisa) Sung, PhD, is a systematic theologian and spiritual director. She served as Visiting Associate Professor of Theology at Regent College from 2022 to 2025, and continues to teach courses for Regent as a Faculty Teaching Fellow. She now serves as Theologian-in-Residence at The InterVarsity Institute, where she brings her life and her ministry and academic experience 15 years as a full-time theology professor at 3 major seminaries in the US and Canada, preceded by 13 years as a campus minister, mostly serving graduate students at The University of Chicago, to her work. Lisa’s primary specialization is theological anthropology, and secondarily (in connection with it), soteriology. Currently, she is writing two books: Race, Racism, and Christian Moral Identity and a volume on theological anthropology. She also speaks on these topics at churches, conferences, and professional development workshops. We are glad to say that Lisa will be back with us this summer from June 8-12, teaching “The Good Life and Christ: A Theological Reframing of the Gospel of Salvation.”
