For decades, Dr. Ed Stetzer has been a familiar voice to church leaders around the world — widely known for his biblically faithful, culturally engaged insights as a radio host, author, podcaster, Outreach magazine editor, church planter, researcher, higher education leader, and guest contributor to national news outlets.

As of July 2023, he’s become an even more familiar face around the campus of Talbot School of Theology. As Talbot’s visionary new dean, Stetzer is bringing extensive experience and fresh enthusiasm to the academic leadership position — eager to expand the school’s impact and to help equip pastors, ministry leaders, counselors and scholars to be “winsome ambassadors,” as he puts it.

This fall, Talbot Magazine invited Stetzer to sit down with Biola University President Barry H. Corey for a wide-ranging conversation about his decision to come to Talbot, his vision for the school’s future, his advice to pastors in a changing world, and more.
