Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Jared Longshore discuss The Institute of Public Theology. They share the history of how IOPT came to be, why it was created and the vision for the days and years ahead. All of life and all of pastoral ministry is theological and all theology is for all of life. IOPT aims to train a coming generation of pastors and Christians to know the times, preach the Word, believe the Word, and do the Word.
