Overview
A lack of spiritual formation among ministry leaders has resulted in frequent ethical failures, lost positions, and devastated ministries. In LD102 Dr. Irving illustrates the need for attending to the inner life for anyone involved in ministry leadership. This course helps defend against spiritual burnout and ethical failures by walking you through a process of spiritual formation that is rooted in both community and the Holy Spirit. Dr. Irving offers a thorough explanation of contemporary leadership emergence theory, undergirding this work with a survey of spiritual gifts and providing a holistic approach to personal formation. This course concludes with a fourfold approach to discipleship that you will appreciate as much for yourself as for discipling others.

I was really disappointed in this class. It claimed to be a class to develop the inner life of ministry leaders, but offered very little Scripture in comparison to the volume of catch-phrases, buzzwords, and secular models and strategies. The sad part is, when the instructor did include Scripture, he explained and applied it well. Sadly, many of the recommended books and influences of the curriculum were disqualified from ministry or have left an orthodox view of salvation by grace, through faith in Christ alone. God gave us the ultimate book on leadership, integrity and discipline; please, use His Word more.

I took this course in 2018. It was a good course and Dr. Irving has a real passion for leadership that comes through in all of his instruction. The course contains a lot of helpfu reading assignments and a lot of extra reading recommendations that will provide one with plenty of resources to read beyond its completion.
