S02E06 | Dr. Dean Kurtz
July 19, 2022
Sans introduction, this episode dives into conversation in progress with Dr. Dean Kurtz, who, at the time of posting, was Adult Ministries and Outreach Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church (Watertown, Wisconsin), director of NewFocus (an addictions program), and voice instructor at Maranatha. Dr. Kurtz’s story naturally spawns shifting topics, all reflective of his mission: to intentionally live Word-based. He and host Dr. Matt Davis readily admit that dogmatism evaporates with humility gained by experience. Dr. Kurtz emphasizes the value of a “posture of growth” and the crucial understanding of identity in Christ. Throughout the dialogue, his story unfolds from his salvation in a United Methodist church and his musical ventures with “The God Squad” to training at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College, music ministry in Pennsylvania, and the “failure” God used to equip him for greater service.
