In this episode, Jeremy interviews Dr. Paige Patterson. As President of my alma mater (M.Div., class of ‘ 07), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Dr. Patterson is a major leader in theological education and the Southern Baptist Convention, over which he served as President (1998-2000).

My favorite book of his is Paige Patterson, Revelation: An Exegetical and Theological Exposition of Holy Scripture, New American Commentary (Nashville: Holman Reference, 2012).

Dr. Patterson and Jeremy discuss the value of work itself, the chic topic of hustling, work ethic, and then they take a right turn and discuss the SBC Conservative Resurgence, the changing landscape of American local churches, and advice to younger pastors.

* One of the things for which you’re most famous is your leadership, along with Judge Paul Pressler, in the Conservative Resurgence of the Southern Baptist Convention. Would you please give us a brief overview of how liberal the SBC was, and what was the strategy to swing it back to its biblical roots?
* The methodological strategies of local American churches have changed a lot since I graduated from SWBTS in 2007. What are your thoughts on the changing landscape of methodology in local churches over the last decade?
