Instructor: Chap Clark

In the world of practical theology, engaging in the process of theological reflection and faithful discernment is a grand adventure with its challenges. Often, a crucial skill is overlooked – the art of identifying the right issue or situation to bring to the process. Sometimes, things can become tangled and confusing. Without guidance and practice, our theological reflections might veer off course. So, this is where Unit 5 begins: learning to look around and ask, “What’s happening here?” and “What’s God up to in all of this?” Then comes the enjoyable part – figuring out what’s worth exploring further for engagement.

Instructor: Chap Clark

Imparting the soul-deepening practice of faithful discipleship is an invaluable skill for every Christian leader. In this final unit of Certificate 1: Practicing Theology, we'll explore how to mentor others, teaching them to read the signs and sounds of God's guidance in their own journeys.

Instructor: Chap Clark

The Practicing Theology Final project includes a presentation and a two-page reflection. Embrace this opportunity to deepen your grasp of the practicing theology model and hone your ability to communicate its principles effectively to others. This project is not just an academic exercise; it’s a step towards integrating theological wisdom into practical, everyday life and leadership.
