    Thinking Critically with Esau Mccaulley

    In this episode, Omar Jackson sits down with New Testament scholar, pastor, and public theologian Rev. Dr. Esau McCaulley for a rich and layered conversation on discipleship in today’s world. Drawing from his work as a professor at Wheaton College and his pastoral ministry in the Anglican tradition, McCaulley brings both academic depth and lived experience to a discussion that bridges Scripture, culture, and everyday faithfulness.  Together, Omar and Esau explore what it means to follow Jesus in a way that is both rooted in historic Christian orthodoxy and responsive to the real questions emerging from Black communities and beyond. Inspired by themes from Reading While Black, McCaulley emphasizes that discipleship is not just about mastering biblical content, but about learning to read Scripture as part of a faithful community—one that brings its questions, pain, and hope to the text and expects God to speak.  The conversation moves beyond theory into formation: How does the local church shape disciples who can engage justice, suffering, and reconciliation without losing sight of the gospel? McCaulley reflects on the importance of being grounded in a specific community, arguing that true spiritual formation happens not on platforms, but among “particular people in a particular place.”  Omar presses into the tension many believers feel—between personal devotion and public witness—and Esau offers a vision of discipleship that holds both together. From navigating questions of race and identity to cultivating a resilient hope, this episode invites listeners into a deeper, more embodied way of following Jesus. Whether you’re a ministry leader, a student of Scripture, or someone wrestling with how faith intersects with real life, this conversation offers a compelling vision: discipleship as a lifelong journey of learning to read, live, and embody the story of God—together.
