First, on 24 January, the Executive Director of Lanier Foundation, David Fleming, will present a Master Class on ‘How to Deal with Relational Conflict: A Biblical Toolkit’.
David explains: “The truth is, if we live with, work around, and minister to people, the occasional relational conflict is inevitable. This Master Class will explore the nature of conflict in the context of ministry and examine the Bible as a guide to effective conflict resolution”.

Next, on 21 February, Leonardo De Chirico, Director of Reformanda Initiative, will present a Master Class on ‘Why Some Evangelicals Are Tempted by Roman Catholicism and How to Respond’.
Leonardo writes: “Since the 20th century, when a ‘conversion story’ was heard, it would typically be one from Roman Catholicism to Evangelicalism. While this is still the case on a global scale, the reverse direction is gaining momentum… It is important to understand what is happening and how to respond biblically”.

On 7 March, Charlie Catlett, Senior Computer Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and The University of Chicago, will give an engaging Master Class on ‘A Christian Guide to Understanding and Using AI Wisely’.
Charlie says: “The pace of improvement in artificial intelligence (AI) has been daunting, with forecasts of transformations—some utopian, others dystopian—touching nearly every aspect of life… This Master Class explains how AI works, what’s coming next, and how to use it wisely and effectively in ministry and daily life—guided by biblical principles of wisdom, stewardship, truth, and love of neighbour”.

To end the season, Steffen Jenkins, Lecturer at Union School of Theology, will present a Master Class on 25 April, covering the topic: ‘Word of Life: How Inspired Scripture Gives Us Jesus’.
Steffen asks: “What does it mean to say that Scripture is ‘inspired’? We will see that Scripture is what it is because God is who He is. In Scripture, Good Himself speaks and offers us His Son and all that He has won for us. By hearing Scripture with faith, we do more than learn about Jesus: we enter into a relationship with Him”.
