That journey is challenging and unpredictable because we serve learners who differ from us and each other in profound ways—culture, life experience, and educational background, to name a few. Your goal will be to design and enable integrated learning—learning that shapes the whole person, connects theory and practice in contextually responsive ways, and arises from a sound theological anthropology.
