Dr. Greg Ogden examines what it means to be a disciple and how disciple-making can occur in the church context. In three major sections, the course considers the church’s missional mandate and core theological challenges to carrying it out, biblical models of disciple-making as seen in the ministries of Jesus and Paul, and the application of disciple-making models in the context of the local church.
As Dr. Ogden describes, “You will walk away from this course with a way to go about making (and) reproducing disciples in your church. That’s the takeaway.”

Dr. Peterson then discusses aspects of teaching K–12 students, with a focus on educational psychologies, teaching methods, and academic disciplines. He concludes by examining adult Christian education in the contexts of church ministry, workplace, and civil community.
In Empowering God’s People for Ministry, Dr. Greg Ogden considers the concept of the “horizontal priesthood” of believers and their role as ministers to one another in the body of Christ. The course begins by considering what it means for the church to be a living organism and how historic approaches to church leadership have failed to empower believers to minister. Ogden evaluates various models of ministry and proposes a way forward that involves God’s call to all believers, the essential ingredients for life transformation, and the role of all believers to be ministers.

In Evangelical Conversion Dr. Sean McGever focuses on a key aspect of evangelical theology: conversion. He begins by looking at the origin of the evangelical theology of conversion specifically through the ministries and teachings of John Wesley and George Whitefield. McGever then explores different dynamics that characterized the early evangelical view of conversion and compares that to the modern church’s understanding of conversion. He concludes the course by making some recommendations about how we could refocus and look at evangelical conversion in a new light by looking at where it began. This course will be beneficial for anyone who cares about evangelism and evangelical conversion.
The adolescent years are some of the most important developmental years for young people. It’s a time of physical, emotional, and spiritual development that can be incredibly influential on the rest of their life. In this course Dr. Sean McGever draws from his years of experience working with youth to lay a solid foundation for others to work with these important age groups. McGever begins by exploring the spectrum of youth in our culture today—from those just entering adolescence in junior high school through college-age young adults. That span covers several development stages, and the course explores the issues they face in each stage, the challenges in communicating to that group, and effective ways to meet those communication challenges.
