New Course Alert: “Leading Faith Formation for Children and Youth” with Faith+Lead Academy

I’m excited to share a new resource that I had the opportunity to help create: a course called “Leading Faith Formation for Children and Youth,” now available through Faith+Lead Academy.

Faith+Lead Academy—part of Luther Seminary—has been around for a while, offering a wide range of online, on-demand courses for church leaders, laypeople, and anyone looking to grow in faith and ministry. Their approach is deeply theological, yet practical and accessible, designed to meet the real needs of ministry today. If you haven’t spent time exploring what they offer, now’s a great time to dive in.

I was honored to contribute to this new course, which focuses on the why and how of forming faith in children and youth. Whether you're a pastor, volunteer, parent, or educator, this course is built to equip you with both theological grounding and practical tools to cultivate meaningful faith formation in young people.

It’s been a real pleasure to be part of the Luther Seminary community through this project, and I’m grateful for their commitment to helping the church thrive in this moment.

I’d love for you to check out the course—and while you're there, explore the full range of offerings at Faith+Lead Academy. There’s truly something for everyone.

Thanks for supporting this work—and I hope it’s a gift to you and your ministry!
