Paul’s approach at the Areopagus really does model how to hold firm to the Gospel while speaking meaningfully into a completely different worldview. His ability to affirm what the Athenians understood, expose what they missed, and then proclaim Christ shows how thoughtful, culturally aware evangelism can still be boldly truthful. It’s a…

Paul’s sermon to the philosophers at the Areopagus in Athens is easily one of the most calculated, highest-stakes evangelistic encounters in the Bible. Module 14 reveals how Paul shapes […]

Theological Anthropology has reminded me that understanding what it means to be human is essential to Christian ministry and discipleship. This session challenged me to recognize that biblical truth must shape the way I understand people, society, identity, purpose, and human flourishing. I was particularly encouraged by the reminder…

@doncyr Thank you for that thoughtful encouragement. I agree that servant leadership is the natural next layer of the discussion. When Christ calls leaders to serve while still guiding, deciding, and correcting, it means leadership becomes less about authority and more about stewardship. Practically, it looks like leading from proximity… Read more

The Eyewitness Testimony Behind the Gospels

One of the most meaningful aspects of this session for me was learning how the Gospels are connected to eyewitness testimony. The discussion of Peter’s relationship to Mark especially stood out because it helped me see the Gospel of Mark as more than an ancient written account; it can be understood as…

@jeffshott I love your point. Apologetics really shines when we can show that Jesus wasn’t just a theological figure but a real person in history.

Paul’s framing of “I have the right to do anything” exposes how easily freedom can be distorted when detached from spiritual maturity.

@jrsolano0115 Thank you, Jason, for sharing your experience in ministry and chaplaincy.
