Leading without forcing a conclusion
Set discussion boundaries, distinguish evidence from interpretation, and make room for uncertainty.
The four-week structure below is a pilot outline, not a completed course or formal academic credential. Training materials, completion standards, and any future assessment requirements will be validated before paid enrollment opens.
Set discussion boundaries, distinguish evidence from interpretation, and make room for uncertainty.
Use Socratic questions, slow down category mistakes, and prevent one confident voice from dominating.
Practice with origins, Adam, animal suffering, hiddenness, and common objections.
Plan a six-week sequence, use the 45-minute rhythm, and know when a question needs pastoral, scientific, or outside professional help.
Interest from the founding cohort will determine whether the full course is produced and will help validate lesson content, completion requirements, pacing, and whether a future credential is useful to churches and facilitators.
