Continuing Education Plus Course:
Being Human
Instructor: Emily Entsminger
When: May 23 – June 19
Overall Desire: “Learning to bit by bit approach our prayer, ourselves, and our discipleship with the expectation that we will be gently, and sometimes not so gently, urged towards that new level of life” (Williams, 84). All components will seek to help us explore and live out our humanity as we pursue Christ.
Course Objectives:
- We will gain a Biblical understanding of what it is to be human (the groan for wholeness).
- We will explore our own humanity through writing and sharing of our personal narratives (the groan of being known).
- We will brainstorm and plan how we can engage those we seek to minister to on a human level (the groan for right relationships).
All of this will be placed in the context of encountering God. Slowing down to hear and see God in our stories, through Scripture, in creation, and through others with us. We will look at the life of Christ, and recognize that he gives us a follow-able model of what it is to be fully human. Learners will grow in Christian maturity and humanity—experiencing inner transformation—so that they can then help others grow in their own humanity.
