Episode 132: A New Theological Education Initiative

On this episode of the Ephesiology Podcast, Michael and Andrew reveal a new theological education initiative in partnership with the Movement Leaders Collective. The founders, Alan Hirsch and Rich Robinson, join the podcast to talk about the significance of this collaborative initiative for movement thinkers. As we are fond of saying, “To shift the tracks of history requires leaders who are equipped to critically assess and engage the contours of contemporary culture.”

If you have a question that you’d like to hear addressed on the Ephesiology Podcast, just send it to Andrew at andrew@neartownchurch.org.

Educating to Shift the Tracks of History

To shift the tracks of history requires leaders who are equipped to critically assess and engage the contours of contemporary culture. As a new initiative to deliver just-in-time theological education focused on issues important to you, mxAcademy is designed as the theological and missiological foundation to unlock your potential as a movement leader and catalytic thinker. mxAcademy is a dynamic and innovative educational experience rooted in mDNA.

We dream of a church fully equipped, fully mature, fully mobilized, and fully alive. A church that lives and breathes the Good News of Jesus!
