S2E17 Theological Conservatives vs. Theological Liberals: What's at Stake?

In today’s church, the divide between theological conservatives and theological liberals isn’t just about style or emphasis—it’s about the very foundation of truth. What do these terms actually mean? Where do the differences lie? And why does it matter?
 
In this episode of Living Stones Podcast, host Siyoung is joined by Pastor Jacob, Pastor Paul, and Davina to unpack the key distinctions between these two approaches to Christianity. We’ll discuss how theological liberals have historically shifted away from biblical authority, redefining truth in light of culture, experience, and human reason. Meanwhile, conservatives have sought to hold fast to the inerrancy of Scripture, the exclusivity of Christ, and the unchanging nature of God’s commands.
 
What are the implications for the church today? And how should we, as those committed to biblical orthodoxy, understand this issue? Join us as we navigate this crucial conversation with clarity, conviction, and a firm grounding in God’s Word.
