What does it look like to follow a winding, unscripted path in ministry, teaching, and life—and how do you find your calling when there’s no clear example to follow? In this episode, Sarah Bogue joins host Cristha Lea for the Scholar, Unscripted series, and shares how her love for Latin, history, digital learning, and creative teaching has shaped her journey at Candler School of Theology, inviting us to see the connections between our own stories and the stories of faith.
A medievalist, ordained Presbyterian minister, and five-time recipient of Candler’s student-selected teaching award, she discusses how the pandemic accelerated her work in helping faculty reimagine their teaching, why she approaches digital pedagogy with pastoral care, and how her dissertation research on the tenth century nun Hrosvitha of Gandersheim inspires her belief that creativity and intellect have always been at the heart of teaching.
Sarah encourages students to resist putting themselves in boxes, and declares, “You can do anything with an MDiv.”
