Basics of Preaching

This course emphasizes the distinction between the authentic role of ministers in the Church and other caregiving professions, such as psychotherapy and professional counseling. Designed for students who have completed foundational courses like Introduction to Pastoral Care or Recovering the Church’s Role in Pastoral Care, the course equips students with advanced pastoral care skills in preparation for pastoral ministry within Church or para-church contexts, deepening their understanding of pastoral identity and practice.
