Who should listen to CHSBT?

After piloting a few episodes and officially releasing some of our podcasts, one of the most frequent questions we received has been “Who is the intended audience of this podcast?”

The short and unhelpful answer is: whoever finds these conversations helpful or interesting.

If that’s good enough for you, then great! Keep listening if you like them! But for those who would like a list and a bit more explanation, here’s a better answer. Wayne has written more extensively on why we started CHSBT, to give space for conversations for those in the Christian school Bible classroom, help frame meaningful interactions with students, etc. That being said, Christian School Bible teachers are not the only people affected by or interacting with the unique cocktail of Christian culture, growing up, theology, and life. While our experience, context, vantage point, and interpretive lens will drive us toward choosing topics that are particularly relevant to High School Bible Teachers, Confessions of a High School Bible Teacher may also be helpful and edifying to other people as well. So here is a narrower list:

• Christian school teachers.
• Moms and Dads with teenagers (current, future, or former).
• Youth ministry volunteers, employees, or workers.
• Students who attend or attended Christian school.
• Closet theologians.
• Seekers who are interested in Christianity (many of our students are non-Christians).
• Mentors with young protégés.
• Those who find themselves swimming in the sometimes confusing sea of Christian culture.
• Anyone thinking dialogue within Christianity needs to be healthier.

If you don’t fit into any of these categories but you still find these conversations helpful or interesting, then praise God! Keep listening!

Grace & Peace,

Chris
