SBTS’ Kevin Smith provided a guest blog post at Ed Stetzer’s “The Lifeway Research Blog,” Feb. 3. Smith is assistant professor of church history at Southern Seminary.
Writing about the need for “realness” in the church, Smith rejects the idea that pastors are “spiritual cheerleaders” and embraces that life can be both painful and difficult. But he highlights the joy and peace found with God’s people submitting to God’s Word.
