SUMMARY:25-26 Pathways: The Christian Life
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: This course is designed to provide knowledge of Protestant perspectives on the Christian life. Participants will explore biblical and theological foundations that shape an understanding of the Christian life. Reflection on focused experiences of spiritual practices will engage students in critical analysis of their own spiritual lives and nurture opportunities for congregational ministry and leadership. Through assignments\, online discussion\, and class lectures\, participants will engage in vital components of the Christian life. \nMeet the Instructor: Karen-Marie Yust \n \n\n\nKaren-Marie’s work nurtures spirituality and fosters theological reflection across generations. Currently\, she researches the impact of digital culture on spirituality among children\, youth\, and young adults\, using insights from media studies\, psychology\, and education. She examines how online interactions influence identity and community and how the Church can respond to modern realities. She also explores moral development in young children and how adults can nurture their moral sensibilities.\nAdditionally\, she investigates changing dynamics in congregational life\, seeking new approaches to faith formation and educational ministries outside traditional settings\, including online platforms and non-religious spaces. She is an experienced pastor and Christian educator\, ordained in both the United Church of Christ and Disciples traditions. \n\n\nDates: Thursdays\, 7-9pm EST\, May 21 – June 25\, 2026 \nRegistration closes 2 days before the first class meeting on May 19\, 2026. \nOffered by the Leadership Institute at Union Presbyterian Seminary\n\n \n\nIf you are in financial need of a discounted registration fee\, please contact Deborah Keyes\, subject line “PWTCL : Financial Aid”. \nUPSem faculty\, staff\, and students can register for this class for free.
