Seminars
The same training, in your church.
The courses Josh teaches to pastors overseas make outstanding weekend seminars for US congregations — and hosting one is a natural first step into mission partnership.
Why host a seminar
Every seminar teaches your people to read, understand, and apply a portion of Scripture on its own terms — the same hermeneutical training TLI brings to global pastors. Your congregation grows in handling the word, and meets the work of global pastoral training firsthand.
Seminars work well as a weekend conference, a Saturday intensive, a Sunday school series, or a retreat. Josh also speaks on sermons, missions, and biblical theology, and is glad to preach on a Sunday morning.

From the churches
What pastors say.
“Showing our people the exaltation of Jesus Christ as the cohesive storyline of both general and special revelation is a massive means of grace. Josh's seminars do this very thing in a way that is approachable, memorable, and theologically substantial.”
