Could theological schools be missing a vital piece of ministry formation? Dr. Darryl Stephens joins the podcast to explore diaconal studies — a growing movement that prepares deacons for ministry beyond the pulpit and into the community. With insights from global models and a new open-access volume featuring 21 authors, Stephens invites schools to broaden their mission, extend their reach, and equip more leaders for today’s multifaceted church. The e-version of the book, “Diaconal Studies: Lived Theology for the Church in North America,” is offered without cost here. A previous open-access book edited by Stephens mentioned in the podcast, “Bivocational and Beyond: Educating for Thriving Multivocational Ministry,” is available at Books@Atla Open Press here.
