In this episode of the Recovering Fundamentalist Podcast, Host, JC Groves sits down with Dr. Marcus Merritt, Director of the Doctor of Ministry program at Luther Rice Theological Seminary, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about accreditation in Christian education.
Whether you’re considering Bible college, seminary, or guiding the next generation of church leaders, this episode dives into the practical, theological, and ministry-related implications of choosing an accredited vs. unaccredited institution.
We talk about:


What accreditation actually is—and why it matters


The real-world consequences of unaccredited degrees


How credibility in education supports the credibility of ministry


The balance between spiritual formation and academic rigor


With humor, honesty, and insight, this conversation challenges some deeply held assumptions and offers clarity for anyone navigating the world of Christian higher ed.
Grab your coffee, light up that cigar, and join us for a conversation every pastor, student, and parent needs to hear.
