Walla Walla University School of Theology’s The Good Word podcast is a long-standing project that offers weekly 13-minute discussions hosted by department faculty, exploring biblical and theological topics that are Bible-based, Christ-centered and faith-strengthening.
The podcast extends the School of Theology’s reach beyond the classroom, providing thoughtful reflection on Adventist adult Bible study guides to listeners around the world. Carl Cosaert, WWU School of Theology dean and professor of biblical studies, described it as a “meaningful way we contribute to the spiritual and theological conversation within and beyond our local community.”
While episodes are hosted by School of Theology faculty, they frequently feature guest speakers from across campus and beyond. Cosaert said guests are chosen for their background and perspective to enrich discussion and bring a variety of insights to each topic.
James Ash, Stateline Adventist Church pastor, joined a series hosted by Brant Berglin, WWU associate professor of biblical studies. Berglin said he invited Ash because he provides “sound and enthusiastic biblical conversation,” particularly on prophetic material.
Guests have also included Albert Handal, Alex Bryan, Andreas Beccai and other WWU faculty, highlighting the university’s faith-based educators. Archived episodes date back to 1999. More information is available at wwugoodword.com.
