Hi, this is Pastor Joel with Right Response Ministries.

This is another episode of Theology Applied.

Today we're going to be discussing the problem of biblical illiteracy,

especially here in churches in America and what you as a Christian can do about it.

I'm pleased to have as a special guest, Dave Jenkins, and now you're listening to Theology Applied.

Applying God's Word to every aspect of life.

This is Theology Applied.

All right, Dave Jenkins, could you go ahead and just take a moment and introduce yourself to our listeners.

Tell them about you,

about your ministry and whatever else you'd like to share. Yeah, well, the first and more important

thing is I was saved by the grace of God at the age of five. I was sitting on my mother's lap and I just

got in like in a little rear end bumper. Nothing major. Nobody got hurt. But I just recognized at that moment that I

needed, I needed Jesus. Now I didn't have all the theological categories at the age of five. I really

didn't have that start studying theology until I was 13. And at 13, I just started devouring. I just had an

overwhelming hunger for theology in the Bible and just started consuming it.

That took me, you know, all to go on mission trips and all sorts of things, starting Servants

or Grace, writing, doing youth ministry, and starting Servants of Grace at the age of 19, fresh out of high school.

I'd had an email list and was writing for people in high school.

And that was growing.

And then when I started online, it kind of just took off.

This is 2000.

So before blogs and before podcasts were a thing, here I was going at it.
