What does it mean to be winsomely Reformed? Dr. Michael Kruger explains what it looks like for believers to warmly and graciously engage the culture while remaining firm in theological convictions.
I can still remember years ago when I was first hired at Reformed Theological Seminary here in Charlotte. Coming up on 22 years now as a professor, I remember the very first interview I had. I was told about this philosophy at RTS, that we want professors that are winsomely Reformed. Yes, we want them to be Reformed, we want them to be solid in their theology. But we also want them to be gracious, kind, and warmhearted in the way they hold that theology and particularly in the way they interact with those they disagree with. And that value has really been instilled with me from the very beginning at RTS and one that we still very much hold dear.
