Ministry is changing fast. Leaders need ongoing formation that fits real life. The Faith+Lead Monthly Roundup curates our latest learning opportunities—courses, conversations, and communities—to support your next faithful step.
Following Jesus to Purpose and Meaning is designed to tackle head-on the clash between conventional standards of success and the timeless wisdom of Jesus and offer practical tools to navigate this tension with grace and wisdom. More than mere theory, this course presents a practical approach to living out the teachings of Jesus in your daily life and urges you to uncover the meaning behind your efforts in ministry and your personal faith journey, and to align them with the teachings that truly matter.
Many Christians navigate their financial lives feeling disconnected from their faith. Work, Money, and the Ten Commandments invites learners to understand vocation as more than occupation, to practice sabbath as both holy rest and economic disruption, and to make choices that honor God’s call for justice in every corner of life. By walking through key commandments and taking the time to apply them to you, you’ll finish the course equipped to integrate faith into every aspect of your work and economic life.

The School for Lay Ministry is here to help you listen to the Holy Spirit, grow as a leader, and serve with faith in today’s world. Whether you’re just beginning to explore your calling or are well along the path, we’d love to journey with you. Past students talk about how life-giving it is to be surrounded by others who “get it”—people walking similar paths, cheering you on, and sharing ideas. One participant said he left feeling, “Connected and grateful,” while another said, “Listening to all these laypeople talk about what they're doing… it's really inspiring.” Join the community today!
