Short Online Courses
People often ask, “how is theology relevant to everyday life”, or “if I’m not a pastor why would I need to study it.”
These are genuine, honest, and good questions.
One answer might be, if theology is the understanding of God, why wouldn’t we want to understand Him better?
But there is often a disconnect between what happens in church and in everyday life.
Regents LIFE wants to address that.
At Regents we have always known theology is not just about training for ministry, and so we began to ask, “how does the teaching and skill that comes with studying theology help us in our everyday lives” and “how can we help people develop those life skills through short courses that are theologically based?”
That’s how Regents LIFE came into being – short online courses, delivered by our gifted team that help equip you for the everyday.
The courses draw on key practical and theological principals for every believer. Each one takes 4-6 hours to complete, with video input, reflective thoughts, and activities delivered on an online training platform accessible from wherever you are.
As with all Regents courses, you will be taught things that will stretch your mind, transform your heart to follow Jesus more closely, and put useful and effective tools in your hands for your personal life, your ministry and your mission. In the months ahead new courses will be added by a variety of experts in their theological fields.
We believe theology should never take a back seat, so we are bringing theology to you, to equip you for everyday Life.
