Significance of Theology in Connections

Theology is crucial to building authentic connections, both with God and others.

Moreover, as Phylicia Masonheimer illustrates in this episode of the Grace Enough podcast, a deep understanding of theology allows Christians to meaningfully interact with different doctrinal perspectives while maintaining unity in faith.

Quotes:

“Are you practicing theology in a way that leads to freedom and holiness, or in a way that leads to bondage and boredom?” – Phylicia Masonheimer

“Letting God define Himself means checking our theology against a truly biblical theology and saying, is what I think about God actually true?” – Phylicia Masonheimer

“You can’t even have a relationship with God without theology, and you can’t know what your relationship should look like with other people without theology. Both of those things are a study of the nature of God and how we relate to Him and his people.” – Phylicia Masonheimer
