Theological Resources for Ministry Leaders
These papers represent Charlie's core theological convictions on the church, race, suffering, salvation, leadership, Scripture, the Holy Spirit, urban discipleship, and the Hood.
Written for ministry practitioners, not just academics.
A Theology of the Hood
What I believe about the places the world writes off and why God keeps showing up there.
On the Church
What I believe about the nature, purpose, and calling of the local church.
On Race
What I believe about human dignity, racial difference, and the calling of the church.
On Suffering
What I believe about pain, lament, the sovereignty of God, and how suffering forms us.
On Salvation
What I believe about what God has done, for whom, and what it is meant to produce.
On Urban Discipleship
What I believe about making disciples in the city and why context is not optional.
On Leadership
What I believe about character, calling, and the kind of leader the Kingdom requires.
On Scripture
What I believe about the authority, sufficiency, and power of the Word of God.
On the Holy Spirit
What I believe about the person, presence, and work of the Spirit of God.
