A streaming video course from Andrew Root at Seminary Now.
Why does ministry feel so hard?
In this ground-breaking video course, Professor Andy Root explores how ministry has changed in the midst of the shifting cultural, ethical, and experiential dynamics of our "secular age."
In this new era defined by the secularization of public life, Root helps us to look beneath the surface of ministry problems, getting underneath the decline of church participation, funding, and power, to understand that belief itself has changed. Despite this experience of loss, the secular age is also defined by a profound hunger for meaning and significance, offering profound opportunities for ministry.

BASED ON THE SERIES
MINISTRY IN A SECULAR AGE
If you have found yourself struggling to name how traditional methods, strategies, and approaches to ministry no longer seem to be working, this course offers both a paradigm-shifting framework for understanding our present moment and new strategies for ministering in world in which traditional religious structures no longer hold a monopoly.
This course is based on Root's award-winning book series with Baker.
