PREPPED with James Spencer, PhD
In a world filled with narratives that deny and overlook God, PREPPED empowers Christians to live out a story that has God at its center. By bridging the gap between academic research and practical ministry, PREPPED equips believers to proclaim the gospel in word and deed by developing a deep understanding of God’s word and the Christian life. Hosted by James Spencer, PhD, and featuring special guests, this podcast is dedicated to breaking down complex theological ideas into practical, everyday insights, which will prepare you to challenge the world’s narratives about love, politics, success, and what it means to be a “good person”. From navigating the challenges of life’s transitions and engaging thoughtfully with technology and politics to strengthening discipleship and giving a faithful testimony to your neighbors, PREPPED empowers believers to live out God’s plan in a world that omits Him. Our mission is to ensure that the difference between God’s story and the world’s story becomes as clear as the difference between a baptism and a bath. Whether you’re interested in biblical studies, apologetics, ministry training, or are simply looking for guidance on living out your faith, PREPPED is here to prepare you for the journey.  Are you ready to start retelling the world’s story from a God-centered approach? Subscribe to the PREPPED Podcast today and transform how you live and share God’s story in a world that desperately needs it.  Visit https://podcast.preppedforseminary.com for more information and resources.
