Becoming a Pastor Theologian
Jeff HUbing
In this episode of the Pastor Theologians podcast, we invite Jeff Hubing to share his journey into pastoral ministry, shaped by personal tragedy, a deep love for Scripture, and a desire to connect theology with everyday life. He reflects on how his father’s faith influenced his calling, his theological studies, and his work leading a network of house churches in Chicago. Jeff discusses a vision of church leadership centered on family, discipleship, and raising up others—not simply gathering crowds, but equipping and releasing people for the work of ministry.
Jeff Hubing is an Elder at Cross Culture Church, Chicago, and Professor of Practical Theology at the Fire School of Ministry Chicago, Illinois. He holds a PhD in New Testament and Early Christianity from Loyola University. He is a member of the St. John Fellowship of the Center for Pastor Theologians.
