Theology can be an intimidating subject for many of us.

Do you resist studying God? Do you prefer more practical matters? Do you pride yourself on being more relatable than the typical “theologian”?

Whether we realize it or not, we all have a working theology that we practice by the way we think and live – and that makes each of us a theologian.
