Every track is a reading plan, not a playlist: a set reading each week, one question you have to answer yourself, and a written piece at the end. Free, self-paced, and tied to no institution.
Scripture
Luke writes an orderly account for a man who wanted certainty. Four weeks, one gospel, read straight through without skipping the songs, the meals or the women everyone else leaves out.
Scripture
Three chapters that have been called the constitution of the kingdom, and misquoted by nearly everyone. Read slowly, one paragraph at a time, with the hard verses left in.
Scripture
The church's first hymnal is mostly complaint. Four weeks through the five books of the Psalter, learning to pray the parts of it that polite religion tends to skip.
Scripture
Paul's longest letter is one continuous argument, and it is easy to quote and hard to follow. Four weeks on the logic from first sentence to doxology.
Church History
Thirty years that turned a movement of a few hundred into churches across the empire. Read Acts as a narrative with a plot, not a collection of stories.
Church History
The doctrines most churches recite every Sunday were argued out in rooms full of exhausted bishops. Three weeks on what was at stake, and why the wording matters.
Church History
The church is now mostly non-Western, and that did not happen by accident. Four weeks on how the faith took root across Asia, Africa and Latin America, and what those churches are teaching the rest of us.
Faith and Practice
The Academy's longest course: twelve weeks, one practice every week, ending with a budget you actually use rather than a principle you agree with.
Faith and Practice
A short course on the body as a site of discipleship: sleep, food, training, rest, and the difference between stewardship and vanity.
Faith and Practice
Four weeks on prayer, depression, lament and attention, for people who suspect that 'just pray more' is not the whole answer.
