Theology & Podcast
Conversations at the intersection of theology, the academy, and culture; conversations with academics, but not academic conversations.


Does academic research make a difference in the real world? Can faith and theology inform our research in other academic disciplines?
Join co-hosts Jeff Liou and Emily Hill for conversations that bring research to life, explore why we love what we study, and how it hits the ground in tangible ways.
Each episode features discussions with theologians and academics from different disciplines discussing their life, faith, research, and how we can engage them around important issues in our culture today.
The Theology & podcast is a project of InterVarsity’s Theological Formation team and is sponsored by InterVarsity’s Faculty Ministry and the Emerging Scholar’s Network.
