  • How to Create a Leadership Pipeline

    3 Lessonsin Featured, Leadership Development
    • Four Words that Change Everything - $10.00

    In our era we are facing a tremendous problem. The most important ingredient for community transformation is leadership. Yet most ministries do not have an intentional process to grow leaders. Solid leadership within an urban ministry organization is critical for sustainability. In this course, Alvin Sanders will address the challenges of developing indigenous urban leaders. […]

  • Leading Through Pain

    1 Lessonin Featured, Leadership Development
    • Four Words that Change Everything - $10.00

    Some pains stay with us and do not get healed. These pains can be physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional. Such chronic pains may take a lifetime to address. Despite our desire to resolve pain quickly, we eventually realize that we may have to find a way to live with chronic pains. Joyce del Rosario teaches […]

  • Environmental Justice as a Way to Love Your Neighbor

    1 Lessonin Featured, Redistribution
    • Four Words that Change Everything - $10.00

    Pollution, climate change, and environmental injustice represent existential threats to our communities and to the gospel. These growing threats disproportionately impact low-income neighborhoods and communities of color throughout the United States. Environmental injustice still receives relatively little attention from Christians, however. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap teaches us that one of the greatest ways to demonstrate love for […]

  • Four Words that Change Everything

    1 Lessonin Empowerment, Featured, Reconciliation
    • Four Words that Change Everything - $10.00

    The work of reconciliation begins by understanding that all of humanity has been created in the image of God. Furthermore, being made in the image of God means that humanity has the responsibility to care for God’s creation. Harper helps us recognize this responsibility and teaches us that when we declare war on our neighbors […]

    • Organizing your Church to Engage your Community - $10.00

    The primary mission of every Christian is to love God and to love neighbors. Unfortunately, many seminaries ignore training church leaders on how to guide their congregations in engaging their local community. In this course, Zac Martin helps to fill this training gap by teaching church leaders how to guide their congregation in fulfilling this […]

  • Disciple-making for Community Transformation

    • Disciple-making for Community Transformation - $10.00

    John Wesley’s 18th century evangelistic movement developed more than 200,000 committed Christ-followers who changed the face of England and transformed the world. Wesley’s disciple-making methods are often mimicked but rarely understood. They are too often mistaken for simple church-growth methods rather than a Biblical model for holistic transformation. In this course, Dr. Kwesi Kamau guides […]

    • The Insidious Power of the Narrative of White Supremacy - $10.00

    For generations individuals have banded together to fight against the broken and inequitable systems of their day. Unfortunately, those systems continue to rebuild themselves into new systems that are as evil and insidious as the torn down system they replace.  Soong-Chan Rah teaches us that these systems of evil continue to re-emerge because we have […]

  • Rooted in God

    • Rooted in God - $10.00

    Psalm 1 encourages us to be as trees planted by streams of water because they yield their fruit in season, and their leaves do not wither. Enid Almanzar reminds us that these benefits are conditional on the tree being rooted near living water and not toxic and tainted water. Similarly, as CCD practitioners we must […]
