Discipleship and Education
Discipleship and Education
This course explores the profound intersection of discipleship and education, equipping Christian faculty to embrace their unique calling as both scholars and spiritual mentors. While discipleship may not always involve direct spiritual formation for every student, it is an integral part of how faculty contribute to shaping students’ perspectives and lives. Through engaging lessons, this course examines how biblical education calls students to see the world as God’s creation, where His hand is at work. Faculty will be guided in practical strategies to integrate faith into teaching, mentor students inside and outside the classroom, and cultivate their own inner lives as disciples of Christ. Together, we will discover how education is not merely intellectual formation but a sacred act of joining Christ in His mission to transform lives and the world.
