Course content and conversations
The Foundations of Economics & Family Management
Session 1
In this conversation, we discuss why the health of the nuclear family is so vital to a vibrant economy. We discuss how modern economists have decoupled economics from the importance of healthy and productive families in their attempt to justify more sophisticated economic systems, such as modern monetary theory.
Our Ministry as Kings & Priests
Session 2
In this session, we focus on the ultimate question in life: how do we experience transformation? We discuss how sin affects us personally but also systemically, yet both the Christian community and the world choose only to recognize the personal or the cultural reality of wrongdoing, and that the inability to recognize both hinders our transformation.
Walking in Financial Freedom
Session 3
As we look at how the world believes that we are successful when we have money that provides a level of security and significance, we debunk the myth that success is tied to how much money we make or possess. We examine why we tend to default to this narrow determination of what constitutes success as humans.
Building Organizations on God’s Word & God’s Pattern
Session 4
In this conversation, we discuss the importance of building organizational security amid economic uncertainty by looking to God’s word and by emulating the pattern and principles of how He builds.
How Your Workplace Ministry Fits into The Big Picture
Session 5
In this discussion, we look at the development of the faith-work movement and discuss the progress of three phases of the movement and what may be preventing it from progressing toward more significant influence.
