This summer, The Way College will run two unique learning experiences as one combined offering. The Summer Intensives will provide accessible learning opportunities for people in the local church to grow in the areas of biblical studies, theology, and other current key themes and topics. Throughout one week (July 2-6), students will engage with leading thinkers and practitioners, participate in a rich learning environment, and come away both enriched and encouraged.

Intensives
Intensive 1: Parables of Jesus: Pictures of His Father and His Kingdom
Instructor: Darrell Johnson
Jesus of Nazareth is best known throughout history for, among other things, two great facts. First, that He was crucified on a Roman cross. Second, that He taught in parables. Yes, He also taught in more formal discourses, as we see in the Gospel of John. But He primarily taught in stories, as we see in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, stories that immediately gripped His listeners, even if they did not immediately understand what He was opening up to them. Through His parables Jesus reveals His understanding of Who His Father is and what He is like, painting a surprising portrait, His revelation turning our understanding around and even upside down. And through His parables, Jesus reveals His understanding of the nature of the kingdom He is bringing to being in the world.
Intensive 2: Contemporary Worldview and Apologetics
Instructor: Chris Price
Apologetics is the art of both defending and commending the Christian faith to unbelievers and believers alike. Apologetics is, in the words of 1 Peter 3:15, “giv[ing] a reason for the hope that is within us.” In our lives, we will all be apologists for the Christian faith at some point or another. The question is, “Will we be prepared, or not?” Contemporary Worldview and Apologetics functions to prepare the student to answer common objections to the Christian faith, as well as communicate a positive case for the truth and continued relevance of the Biblical worldview. Throughout this learning experience, we will discuss the existence of God, the reality of miracles, the problem of evil and suffering, the reliability of the New Testament, and much more. Students will come away with a more robust understanding of their faith, increasingly equipped to address the primary barriers to belief in a post-Christian culture.
