Cohort Description

With every challenge comes opportunity. With every opportunity there is a challenge. This cohort looks at five of the biggest challenges facing the church in the Western world, helping us to better understand our times and look for ways to see churches strengthened and the gospel advanced in the days ahead. We will look in greater detail at the elements of a “be true to yourself” mindset, the shrinking of Christianity into little more than a personal and privatized faith, the moral revolution that casts traditional Christian morality as harmful and repressive, the rise of intuitional spiritualities and pseudo-religions, and the fragmentation and polarization of our increasingly online world.

This cohort will help you connect the dots, better understand people in your neighborhood and in your church, and offer ways of bearing gospel witness in the world to which we’ve been called.

With your registration you’ll receive:

  • The Great American Church Migration by Michael Graham
  • Making Sense of Us video curriculum
  • The Gospel After Christendom edited by Collin Hansen, Ivan Mesa, and Skyler R. Flowers

 

Are you on a church staff or considering this cohort as a group at a church? If so, we want you to check out this brief PDF with three ideas of how to use this cohort as a group and instructions for deep discounts.

We never want finances to hinder someone from participating. If you want to participate in this cohort and need financial assistance, please send us an email and tell us more about your circumstances (cohorts@thegospelcoalition.org).

Our Certificate in Cultural Apologetics recognizes that a person has taken four cohorts (the equivalent of one year) from The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. Learn more about our online certificate program.

 

* We are unable to offer refunds for The Keller Center cohorts
* Registration WITH books closes on February 9 and LATE Registration WITHOUT books closes on February 15.
* All sessions will be recorded and available for streaming or download at your leisure in perpetuity, so if you can’t make it live, the material is still readily available
* NOTE: we are unable to ship to those outside the United States but please use the coupon code “BOOKS15” for 15 percent off as our courtesy to international participants. You may also use coupon code “BOOKS15” if you DO NOT WANT the books for the cohort.
* If you have any questions pertaining to signing up for your cohort, group rates, elder/preaching team rates, or church rates email cohorts@thegospelcoalition.org

Connect the cultural dots so you can better understand why people in our neighborhoods and churches think and act the way they do.
Instead of bemoaning cultural trends, look for ways to turn some of these challenges into opportunities for gospel witness.
Regain a sense of hope in God’s goodness and sovereignty as we seek a missionary encounter with the world in the 21st century.
