Resource Highlight: Siburt Institute 2020 Digital Resource Roundup

Karissa Herchenroeder

Because we moved so many Siburt Institute for Church Ministry events online this year, we now have a wealth of new digital resources we hope you’ll find practical and helpful for your leadership and personal growth. With a variety of videos, audio recordings, recommended reading, and ideas for getting involved in areas that matter most to you, there’s a little something for everyone.

Whether you wish to catch up on a live webinar you missed or to use a Summit guidebook as a small group discussion guide, I invite you explore the numerous new resources we developed this year.

Church Cultures of Care and Abuse

Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer joined us to discuss the dynamics of church culture that promote abuses, and what we can do to prevent those dynamics. Drawing from their book A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing, they talked with webinar hosts Myles Werntz and Wilson McCoy. Watch now.

Pathways

For each pathway, we compiled video recordings, speaker information, and related resources for deeper learning – all within a PDF that’s easy to navigate and easy to share. Guidebooks can make practical tools for individuals, Bible class teachers, or small group leaders to journey through a Summit pathway at your own pace.
