Doing Theology in a War Zone (Ukraine) with Dr. Ivan Rusyn
What does it mean to do theology amid war? In this episode of Faith on the Road, we speak with Dr. Ivan Rusyn, president of Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary (UETS), about the lived reality of theological education in Ukraine during ongoing conflict.Dr. Rusyn reflects on how war has reshaped the questions theologians must ask, the role of the Church in times of crisis, and what faithful witness looks like when bombs fall and communities are displaced. This is a conversation about resilience, hope, and the urgent relevance of theology in the hardest places.This episode is sponsored by Eerdmans, publisher of Serving God Under Siege by Valentyn Syniy. When Russia invaded Ukraine, a seminary president led his students and faculty to safety and kept their mission alive. Part memoir, part wartime theology, part call to courage—this is essential reading for anyone who refuses to look away from the cost of faithfulness in a broken world.Preorder your copy today!This is a podcast of Scholar Leaders.
