In this episode of World Class, I sit down with Mary Chang, former Principal of Orissa Theological Seminary, pastor, and theological educator, to discuss the vital task of shaping the next generation of Christian leaders. Drawing from her years of experience in theological education and ministry, Mary reflects on the role of seminaries in forming students academically, spiritually, and pastorally for effective service in the church and the world.
Our conversation explores the challenges of preparing leaders for ministry in today’s rapidly changing context, the importance of integrating classroom learning with real-life ministry, and the transformative role of mentoring in leadership development. Mary also shares her hopes for the future of theological education and her vision for raising faithful, servant-hearted leaders who will impact their communities and advance God’s mission.
Whether you are a pastor, seminarian, ministry leader, or simply interested in leadership formation, this conversation offers valuable insights into developing Christian leaders for the church of tomorrow.
