Pastor-Theologian Collective (Green Bay) with Dr. Jeremy Lundgren

Dr. Jeremy Lundgren serves on the faculty of Nicolet Bible Institute, a ministry of Silver Birch Ranch in Wisconsin. He is also the author of The Pursuit of Safety: A Theology of Danger, Risk, and Security (see book description below). Dr. Lundgren will present two lectures on “Courage in Pastoral Ministry.” As always, a free lunch will be provided, offering time to continue the conversation over a great meal.

Book Description:

Safety is among the most important concerns of human life: we pursue it instinctively and go to great lengths to avoid danger or harm. However, the category of safety has received surprisingly little focused theological reflection. Important questions for the church have gone unanswered: How do secular understandings of safety shape our imaginations? How can Christians navigate the tension of pursuing safety as a creational good in light of the eschatological aims of discipleship? 

In this volume in IVP Academic's Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series, theologian Jeremy Lundgren provides a constructive theological analysis of safety. After addressing the conceptual development of safety and risk through premodern, early modern, and late modern settings, he gives practical guidance to the contemporary church on how to faithfully engage with the pursuit of safety in the present day.
