Hello friends and welcome to theology in the raw. I am here with my I want I almost a good friend we've never met but somebody I've admired from afar and

From what from what he has told me it's mutual

But I am here with John Tyson. John Tyson is a church

planter, pastor, and I'm going to say a pastoral theologian and I really mean that. I mean there's some people Theol

theologian, and I really mean that. I mean, there's some people that are like theologians,

but they're not quite pastoral, there's some people that are pastoral,

but man, their theology is just like,

huh, John Tyson's a real deal, and I'm going to let him describe

himself because he may deny some of that, but I'm going to stick with it. John, thanks so much

for being on theology in the raw. Well, thanks so much. I'm a big fan of this show.

I recommend it to a lot of people.

When you have the courage to take on John Piper on one or two light of the light

calling me a pastoral theologian is a real honor.

I think I would describe myself like that.

I certainly aspire to be like that.

You know, to wed deep, thoughtful understanding and, you know, wed deep thoughtful understanding and you know culture for all.

Real quick we are having some video difficulties and neither of us have the best

internet I'm plugged in straight into the Wi-Fi, so there's nothing I can do about a my own.

John is in a closet in an apartment in New York City, so apparently the Wi-Fi out there isn't too great. We're just going to keep

going with it and we'll see if this works out on the video portion. This is both a video

that I upload to YouTube and also a podcast.

So worst case scenario, we'll cancel the video
