In this week’s episode of the Igniting Imagination Podcast, we talk with professor Eric Barreto who invites us into a biblical imagination for our work together. We love how he reminds us to keep coming back to the good news of Jesus. Yes! That is what inspires us, forms us, equips and animates us! We hope this conversation gives you a new imagination for what’s possible and if it does, please share with friends and leave us a review! Thank you for listening!
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
- How childhood experiences shaped Eric’s understanding of faith and the church.
- The value of a seminary education today.
- Biblical wisdom for this time of polarization.
- The gift of Hispanic and Latino perspectives in biblical and theological studies.
