024. An Interview with Virginia Ward: "The Importance of A Widely Informed Faith"

It was an honor and extremely fun for Andrea Lewis and me to interview Dr. Virginia Ward.  She is my friend, colleague, steward of urban theology and a respected leader in Boston.  

In this faith-building interview, we will hear Virginia's early days of faith development and consider the importance of:

• Proactively establishing varied spiritual disciplines.
• Exposing yourself to all "streams" of Christianity, through reading, experiencing, listening,   and uniting in prayer
• Pain and Suffering in spiritual formation
• Suspending stereotypes around ethnicity and race and listening well
  
  I am confident you will learn, and be encouraged and challenged by this podcast!
