BS-01 - Online Course: "Stewardship and Culture" |
This Course Is Taught by Betsy Schwarzentraub
The main objective of this course is to assist students s they engage and critique the culture in which they live, in their society and church. Class participants will:
- Assess Western assumptions about achievement,
- Examine consumerism to help shatter the myth of more,
- Review the influence of marketing and technology, and
- Strengthen a culture of generosity in their congregation.
As a result of this course, students will be able to speak more boldly on stewardship themes within culture, talk about the tension between following Jesus Christ and succumbing to the current consumer culture, and advocate a lifestyle that works with others to transform human systems to honor God.
