The Power of the Invisible Church (Accessing and Activating the Spiritual Resources of the Church) May 03, 2018

Show notes

Rick Gibson

Research shows that all organizations, including churches, are held together, not through physical resources and assets, but through beliefs, identity, mission, and values. These invisible spiritual resources are essential to the health and effectiveness of any organization. Sadly, the agenda of our churches today are often driven by the demands of visible assets and invisible mission-less motives, leaving little energy for leaders to nurture the life-giving spiritual resources the give power to the church. This class will explore ways for church leaders to form and activate a creative, dynamic, mission-oriented congregation.

Ministers in Lab Coats: An Alternate View of Christianity and Science in History May 03, 2018

Show notes

Jennifer McNutt

This session will address the perception that Christianity and science have a history of conflict and are inherently at odds with each other. Dr. McNutt will highlight lesser-known stories of how Christian pastors have consistently promoted and contributed to the emergence of modern science from the Scientific Revolution to the modern era as part of their commitment to advancing the Gospel. Examples of "ministers in lab coats" can help to dispel the characterization of conflict that continues to shape current-day perceptions and stunt contemporary conversations over the relationship between Christianity and science today.
