This course invites participants into a guided journey through the emerging landscape of artificial intelligence, using Luther’s Small Catechism as a trusted map and companion for the road. As AI reshapes how we live, work, and lead, Christians across vocations including pastors, educators, business leaders, healthcare professionals, and others are called to navigate this terrain faithfully. Grounded in Scripture and structured around the Six Chief Parts of the Catechism, this course explores what it means to love our neighbor, understand our humanity, trust in God’s provision, receive our identity, take responsibility for our actions, and hold fast to what is real and enduring. Along the way, participants will consider how AI may serve as a useful tool within our earthly callings while remaining anchored in Christ, equipping them to steward wisely the gifts, responsibilities, and opportunities entrusted to them by their Creator in service to others. 

Course Objectives: 

• Practice faithful discernment by evaluating the use of AI through the lens of Scripture and Luther’s Small Catechism 
• Steward the gifts and tools entrusted by God by recognizing how AI can support human strengths, address areas of weakness, and serve the neighbor within one’s vocation 
• Apply theological understanding to real-world vocations by making wise and responsible decisions about AI use in contexts such as education, ministry, business, healthcare, and leadership 
• Translate theology into practice by developing habits of responsibility, reflection, and embodied presence in an increasingly technological environment

This six-week session explores how Paideia (the holistic formation of a person) and Scholé (the practice of restful and contemplative learning) provide a foundation for joyful, high-impact, lifelong learning for leaders. We will learn from the practices of past and present leaders and explore a variety of habits related to nurturing mind, body and spirit. By considering the power of learning in small, intentional groups, each participant will be challenged to devise a personal lifelong learning plan.

Course Objectives:

• Distinguish between modern information gathering and the classical ideals of Paideia and Scholé. 
• Analyze the habits and practices of historical and contemporary leaders who prioritize lifelong learning. 
• Evaluate specific disciplines and practices for nurturing the mind, body, and spirit within the demands of leadership. 
• Design a personalized lifelong learning plan rooted in restful and contemplative study.
