Revolutionizing Seminary Education: Innovative Paths and Financial Models with Greg Henson of Kairos University

Lead Time

Embark on a transformative journey through theological education as we bring to the forefront an enlightening discussion with Greg Henson, president of Kairos University. Through our conversation, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how Kairos is revolutionizing seminary education with its Competency-Based Theological Education (CBTE) approach, detailed in Greg's latest book. We confront the skepticism about CBTE's academic integrity head-on, illustrating Kairos's unwavering commitment to excellence as affirmed by ATS and HLC accreditations.
We grapple with the current landscape of theological education, facing the winds of change in church attendance, funding, and the crucial relationship between seminaries and local communities. Greg and I also illuminate the parallels between today's transition from Christendom to post-Christendom and the early church's own adaptive journey, as chronicled in the Book of Acts. Delving into the CBTE model, we reveal its focus on mentorship and community-based learning, which offers a vibrant and relevant path for today's theological scholars.
The episode doesn't end with just insights; it offers a glimpse into a groundbreaking financial model that defies the norms of educational economics. Discover how Kairos's subscription-based tuition model has maintained affordability amidst a sea of rising costs, and ponder how such a revolutionary approach could reshape the financial landscape of education. We also celebrate the power of partnerships and community, as Kairos aligns with institutions like Luther House of Study to forge new, robust discipleship pathways within various faith traditions. Join us for this compelling episode that promises to reshape your understanding of seminary education's present and future.
