Denver is a missionary, Taylor is a pastor, and Matt is a professor. All of them, however, are passionate about bridging the gap between scholarship and ministry. They want to take the insights gained through academic study of the Bible and bring them directly to the fields of ministry. Sometimes Christians are led to believe they must choose between being a capable scholar and having a fruitful ministry. The Learning Laborers believe that the opposite is true. When brought together in the right way, scholarship enhances ministry and ministry experience also enhances biblical scholarship.

42 - In the Deep with Peter with Noah Schumacher

In this episode of Learning Laborers, Taylor and Denver sit down with their fellow classmate Noah Schumacher - a pastor and contributor to the new volume And Upon This Rock, which explores the life of the Apostle Peter.

Noah shares his 11-year journey in pastoral ministry, including transformative moments and crises that shaped his vision of success in ministry. He discusses how he found inspiration in Peter's story, particularly through his experiences of failure, restoration, and obedience, and how these insights have redefined his approach to leading a church. Tune in for an enriching conversation on the challenges and rewards of ministry, guided by biblical narratives and personal experience.
