When we say like theology matters in this practical we're not saying you actually need to be perfect.

The good theology is you show your kids I need to ask for forgiveness.

Yeah. To say I don't know. You're to let the kids see you begging God for things, you wrestling with God for things.

That's actually good theology.

So do you know what my favorite seminary class was?

Communication?

Yeah, sort of what we do now.

I know.

I should have done better than that class.

I should have paid more attention.

I loved that class. You did? My favorite probably was Old Testament survey with Walter Kaiser. Yeah, he was good. What was yours? Theology. I had J.P. Moreland, who many people might recognize that name now. He was a young prophet at the time working on his PhD at USC you know we were an hour away in

in San Bernardino but he taught theology in a way that expanded my mind. I remember thinking I do not even know how to think

about God until taking that class like this is really critical how you view and understand the attributes who God is.

Okay let me ask you this before we have a guest.

No wait wait wait I want to ask you one more question before you went to seminary

would you have considered yourself a theologian?

No.

Me neither.
