This conversation with Pastor Trey Ferguson easily and quickly became one of my favorites. Not did our time together feel life-giving, akin to having a cup (or many cups) of coffee with a dear friend, but his theological explorations were encouraging and, in some instances, challenging. Trey’s new book, Theologizin’ Bigger is not your typical theology text. It is written from where Trey sits now and from the places where his journey has taken him. What began as Twitter conversations turned into long form musings and I am here for it! A great place to interact with Trey is still on Twitter (or X) @pastortrey05.
