Misael Cornelio Arias

I am Professor of Intercultural Studies and Ministry Leadership and University Registrar at Global University (Springfield, Missouri). I received my Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2025. My dissertation was a mixed-methods study of mission engagement in Latino Pentecostal congregations, with 1,089 survey participants across 40 congregations. A revised version, Sent by the Spirit, is under peer review with Brill. My current research examines how Pentecostal communities take up AI-mediated religious guidance. I develop this in The Algorithm and the Spirit (Eerdmans, forthcoming 2026).
