Episode Synopsis

On this week's episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins sits down with Dean Bryan P. Stone of SMU Perkins School of Theology to talk about the future of theological education in the United Methodist Church and what formation looks like in a changing world. They explore the role congregations play in shaping disciples, why the classroom still matters, and how theological education can prepare leaders for ministry both inside and beyond the local church. Along the way, Dean Stone shares insight from his recent book on horror cinema and how the stories we tell reveal what we fear, value, and hope for as people of faith.   Links Mentioned: Dr. Stone's Book https://www.amazon.com/Christianity-Horror-Routledge-Studies-Religion/dp/1032968400 Chris Boyd's Think interview on Halloween. https://think.kera.org/2025/10/31/the-christian-core-of-horror-movies/ Perkins School of Theology https://www.smu.edu/perkins   Website - htcumc.org Facebook - @HTCUMC Instagram - @HTCUMC TikTok - @horizontxumc YouTube - @htcumc  Spotify - Horizon Texas Conference
