The digital discipleship specialization can help you formulate an emerging theology of networks through which the Spirit of God works to minister to His people. Just as Martin Luther transformed Europe and eventually the world by utilizing the emerging technology of his time — the printing press — so you have a similar opportunity because of the technological innovations available to us today.
Your Christian leadership courses will culminate in doctoral-level research for practical application in diverse educational, organizational, and ministry contexts. Fulfillment of the EdD praxis gives you the opportunity to exhibit your expertise and abilities. You can apply advanced concepts learned in the Doctor of Education in Christian Leadership program to your research.
