    "Listening to these conversations engendered in me a fuller understanding of my faith. What I learned continues to challenge me to explore more deeply both the Holy Scriptures and the depths of the natural world, i.e., the book of nature."

    — Edward G.

    "Listening to this conversation was reassuring; one can take comfort in the fact that there is a large group of Christians between faith-rejecting atheists and science-rejecting creationists who have broken down the barrier between science and religion. Karl Giberson explained how science is one way that God reveals truth, and when we find out something true about the world, that truth is sacred. This leads to revelation and a deeper understanding of science enhanced by God."

    — Dana C.

    Sample Study Guide


     

     

    • Flexibility: each episode is paired with its own study guide. The unsecured pdf format enables clergy, teachers, and other group leaders to highlight and paste into their own documents precisely those questions they wish to use, in whatever order they choose, and with the freedom to alter the template language

    • Stand-Alone Episodes: each episode is self-standing, so course leaders may sequence them in any order

    • Honoring Diversity: the study guide questions (which are offered episode-by-episode) are carefully written to respect the beliefs and perspectives that participants may bring to their learning experience

     LEADERS INSTRUCTIONS  

    We suggest you purchase your Leaders Package now, for the flat rate of $45. You will be given the opportunity to use Paypal or Google Checkout for your purchase (or to securely use a credit card if you lack an account with those payment intermediaries).

    Know that up to 3 course co-leaders may share the same download code that your purchase will provide. All components (pdf and mp3) of the Leaders package are easily downloadable, using the code you will purchase.

    You will then want to spend some time perusing the LEADERS PACKAGE in order to determine how to sequence the 10 episodes and how you prefer to use/adapt the Study Guides for your group's particular needs.

    When you are ready to recruit course participants and direct them to where and how to purchase/download their PARTICIPANT PACKAGE, you will:

      SEND PROSPECTIVE COURSE PARTICIPANTS to:      http://thegreatstory.org/ec-creation-participants.html  

    Having each student go online and purchase his/her own Participant Package of downloadables is highly recommended — especially because latecomers will be able to purchase a download set and immediately begin to participate in the course.

    Alternative: If your organization prefers to directly pay for some or all participant materials, you will need to
    (a) determine the number of digital sets to purchase, and then (b) visit the participant webpage yourself and make the purchase (being sure to type in the number of sets you are purchasing). Your purchase will provide you with a single download code that you will then give to all the students.

    Begin the purchasing process . . .    OR    Contact us for more information . . .




     
    "I am an avid podcast listener, especially while exercising or doing chores. No other audio series has helped me as much as the Evolutionary Christianity series has.

    For many years I struggled on my own to understand how to integrate my Christian experience with the truth I found in science. I had already read or heard some of the guests, and so was looking forward to those episodes, but the range and caliber of all the guests is impressive. Among them are top-notch academics and leaders in spirituality discussing a topic that was deeply important to me — but almost taboo in my social circles.

    The series as a whole gave me reassurance that I wasn't alone. I encountered an abundance of ideas, perspectives, and paradigms presented in an accessible, engaging conversation. Michael Dowd's warm style and impressive knowledge gave the series a snap and sparkle difficult to match anywhere else."

    — Richard P.

     


    "Wow! What a great conversation! The ideas which resonated most for me were elevating “The Universe Story” (a great title from a great book) to 'The Cosmic Drama'—I love that.

    As well, the beauty and mystery of an emergent and unfinished Creation: although I’ve contemplated this, John Haught expressed it in a subtle and evocative manner. This is one audio that I need to listen to again and savor the richness of the ideas shared."

    — Don S.
