Free Practical Theology Course
A five-part, self-paced video course exploring how everyday ministry shapes young people’s understanding of God.
Description
A teenager asks why God didn’t answer their prayer. You want to respond with care, but you’re still working through your own questions. How you listen and respond can communicate something about God- even something you never intended.
Designed for those exploring ministry or seeking a stronger theological foundation, this course introduces practical theology: bringing what you believe about God into conversation with what’s happening in people’s lives. Each video includes reflection questions to help you connect what you’re learning to your own experiences.
You’ll get a glimpse of the theological reflection at the heart of the Ministry Leadership Center’s graduate program in youth ministry, with space to consider what you believe and how you hope to lead.
