Why we need poets and practitioners

My latest substack addresses the need for poets and practitioners in the church:

“The pursuit of theology must be accessible to the people of God without using the complicated language of textbooks and lengthy systematic theologies—except when essential. Most of you will never read through John Calvin’s Institutes or John Frame’s 1219 pages of Systematic Theology unless you are predisposed to reading that type of literature.”
