Diagnosing the Problem of Christian Immaturity: A Theological Perspective

The sixth session of the 2024 Martin Institute Christian Formation Workshop featured a presentation by Dr. Kristin Deede Johnson (theology, Western Theological Seminary) and comments by Dr. Kyle Strobel (theology, Talbot School of Theology). The session was moderated by Dr. E. Trey Clark (homiletics, Fuller Theological Seminary). Dr. Johnson’s paper was titled “Diagnosing the Problem of Christian Immaturity: A Theological Perspective.” This session initiates our attempt to explain the problem of Christian immaturity/malformation and consider actionable steps toward fostering greater spiritual and moral vitality among Christian individuals and groups.
