In an era of polarized discussion and emotional reaction, Christians can’t settle for stories that distort and deny God. They need biblical and theological frameworks that provide clarity without compromise, wisdom without withdrawal, and engagement without entanglement. As a scholar, speaker, and author with a calm disposition, thoughtful posture, and theological approach, James assists Christians as they seek to follow Christ in a world full of distractions.
Through live events, broadcasts, and podcasts, Dr. Spencer’s calm, thoughtful, theological analysis helps audiences understand complex issues through biblical frameworks encouraging Christians live under the authority of God’s word.
Through keynotes, lectures, and workshops, Dr. Spencer challenges and equips Christian leaders to be calm, thoughtful, and theological while addressing the issues facing the body of Christ in the contemporary world.
Though articles, sermons, podcasts, and small group Bible studies, Dr. Spencer equips everyday Christians to conform more closely to Christ’s image while equipping them to understand God’s word so that they can grow in the fear of the Lord.
