"Theology starts and finishes not with us but with God. He is the alpha and omega. God addresses us and God calls us into participation in His life, a life that will go on forever." Says Michael O'Neil, Dean of Campus and Lecturer at Morling College Vose Perth Campus. In this episode of Faith & Us, Erica and I have a conversation with Michael about theology beyond mere study and unpacking how to have a faith that seeks understanding. We take a deep dive into the implications of a robust theology, Michael shares pastoral struggles that led him to study more deeply, and how to best engage theology in a way that yields transformation.
