Why We Started an Online Seminary (And Why It’s Personal)
from The End of Christianity as We Know It · host American Lutheran Theological Seminary
In episode 2 of The End of Christianity as We Know It, we’re pulling back the curtain on why we decided to launch an online seminary and the specific "why" behind our mission. While the world of theological education is changing rapidly, we believe the core of ministry preparation is individualized care. We dive deep into:- The Calling: Why we chose the online path and what it allows us to do differently for our students..- Student Focus: How we maintain high-touch, personal mentorship in a digital space.- The Numbers: A transparent look at the financial realities of running a residential institution versus an online model—and why the "brick and mortar" overhead is becoming a hurdle for many.Whether you're a prospective student, a fellow educator, or just curious about the future of the Church, this conversation explores how we’re trying to make quality theological training more sustainable and personal.You can also check out this podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen!https://open.spotify.com/show/0pfP3wfLUb7YF0dnILc42h?si=ee6710bf41044f50https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-end-of-christianity-as-we-know-it/id1872118836Here is our website: www.alts.edu
