Welcome to Real Christianity, a weekly show designed to help Christians know their Bible,

defend their faith, and truly understand what it means to follow Jesus.

The premise is simple. The culture is getting louder. The church is getting flashier,

but few pastors are teaching on how to live a biblical life.

My name is Dale Partridge, along with my incredible wife, Veronica.

Join us as we start an important conversation about what it really means to be a Christian.

Welcome to Real Christianity. Today we are talking about why all Christians should delight

in doctrine and theology. Delighting and doctrine at theology sounds like it would be a very boring

episode, but not today. It's going to be a great episode. I'm actually really excited. I think

the content is going to be edifying for you. Before we get started, I wanted to mention a few things.

One is if you haven't left a review in your regular listener to Real Christianity,

man, we would appreciate that if you just go to iTunes, tap the stars. You don't even need to

write anything, but if you do write something, we will read it. If you guys want the show notes

for this episode, you want to listen to the video. You want to download the audio. You want to

look at the show notes, the references of scripture that we use. You can always do that at

relearnchurch.org forward slash listen. On that note, let's dive right in. I want to just get

started and get moving in the conversation. So, our theology is simply our defined view of

God. So, that's just, you know, whatever theology hold, it's just your defined view of God.

And so, whether you like it or not, you do have a theology if you're Christian. You have some

doctrine and theology, and that is what makes up your defined view of God. And so, today's

conversation isn't about like if you want to have a theology about God or understand some doctrine

about God. It's really about, do you have sound theology or biblical theology about God?
