This is Stuff Adventists Should Know. Starting in January, 2018, I’ll be launching a podcast that explores compartments of the Seventh-day Adventist church. I’ll be talking to scholars, administrators, and leaders in our church to find out how the church works and why knowing matters.
At a time when understanding is needed most in our church and it feels like church isn’t working like it should, we’re essentially just going to pull over the vehicle of Adventism and pop the hood and get professional opinions on the current state of the machine.
