Here goes another question as we continue The Trinitarian Conversation, where we take time to pause, reflect, and consider what the truth of the Trinity reveals about God. Feel free to read the question, sit with it, and then join the conversation in the comments. #thetrinitarianconversation #trinitariantheology #globalgraceseminary
As we continue The Trinitarian Conversation, were taking time to pause, reflect, and consider what the truth of the Trinity reveals about the God we worship. The Trinity is not simply something we believe about God, rather, it tells us something profoundly beautiful about who God is. And when we begin to see God as He has revealed Himself—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—it changes the way we understand everything from love and relationship to salvation and our own life in Christ. So today, were asking another question worth lingering over. Read the question, sit with it, and then join the conversation in the comments. #thetrinitarianconversation #trinitariantheology #globalgraceseminary
Introducing The Trinitarian Conversation. Over the next week, well be asking a series of questions designed to help us pause, think, and rediscover the beauty and depth of the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These arent questions simply to answer, but questions to sit with, wrestle with, and talk about together. Wed love to hear your thoughts. Join the conversation. #thetrinitarianconversation #trinitariantheology #globalgraceseminary
There is something almost offensive about how good the gospel actually is. As Jason Clark has said, when we begin to see the goodness of God for what it truly is, we discover that it is far greater than the life many of us have built around our understanding of Him. The gospel is not merely that God forgives us so that we can try harder to become better people—the gospel is that the Father has brought us into the life of the Son, through the Holy Spirit. What does this really mean? In Christ, we are not strangers trying to earn our way into Gods presence, rather, we are beloved children who have been welcomed into the very fellowship of the Triune God. The Father sees us in the Son, loves us with the love He has for His Son, and has given us His Spirit so that we might know—not merely intellectually, but personally—that we belong to Him. This changes everything. Our deepest identity is not found in our failures, our accomplishments, our past, our ministry, our reputation, or even our ability to get our lives together. Our truest identity is found in Christ, for we are the Fathers beloved children because we have been united to the beloved Son by the Holy Spirit. John says: “See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” - 1 John 3:1 (RSV) And so we are. Not because we performed well enough or because we finally became worthy. It is because the Father, in His extravagant grace, has given us the Son and poured out His Spirit. So the invitation of the gospel is clear: come and receive what God has already given you in Christ. Lay down the striving, the fear, and the endless attempt to prove yourself worthy, and rest in the love of the Father who has already welcomed you in the Son. Let His love define you, let Christ be the foundation of your identity, and let the Holy Spirit awaken you to the reality that you belong to God. This is why the gospel really is offensively good, for it tells us the truth about God, and invites us to live boldly from the truth of who we are in Christ. #jasonclark #thegoodnewsofthegospel #trinitariantheology #globalgraceseminary

Do you know what is so deeply beautiful about the Christian doctrine of the Trinity? God is love because love is who God eternally is. Before creation, before we ever entered into time and history, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit shared in the fullness of divine life—an eternal communion of self-giving love. The Father has eternally loved the Son, the Son has eternally loved the Father, and the Holy Spirit eternally shares in the perfect communion of their love. This is why love is not simply something God does; love is who God is. As Fleming Rutledge reminds us, the Trinity helps us understand what the New Testament means when it declares, “God is love.” (1 John 4:8, RSV) The good news of the gospel is not simply that God has love for us, but that the God who is love has, through the Son and in the Holy Spirit, welcomed us into the very life and love of the Triune God. “See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God.” - 1 John 3:1 (RSV) So today, whatever you are carrying, remember who God is—and remember whose you are. The Father has loved you from the beginning, the Son has drawn near to you in grace, and the Holy Spirit remains with you and within you. #flemingrutledge #trinitariantheology #globalgraceseminary

Below are a list of the 10 Core Courses:​

Foundation of Grace

Understanding the Foundation of Grace in Scripture will give you a much clearer picture of sovereignty of God. From the early church fathers to those on the cutting edge of Radical Grace today, you will find a long line of men who have upheld the grace foundation of God’s word. In this course we will explore a survey of scriptures to show that the Bible in its entirety teaches the doctrinal Foundation of Grace.

Nature of God

The true nature of God is demonstrated in His grace, as seen in His love for all humanity. While all men deserve wrath, God moved heaven and earth to save man, the pinnacle of His creation. This He did, because the essence of God is love. In this course, you will learn about the true nature of God demonstrated by love and grace toward all mankind from the foundation of the world.

Identity & Inheritance

The Identity that God established for you before time began is the key that empowers you and is the single most important factor in a life of authority and power as a believer. In this course you will learn your Identity in Christ and you will come to a complete understanding that we live in Him, and He in us. This Identity gives the same power and authority to walk in heavenly realms as He does. We are then able to declare the kingdom of God on earth with signs and wonders following.

Law & Grace

God’s desire for us is that we should prosper and succeed in every area of life. Grace moves us toward this success. God does not want us to become stunted in our growth because we have allowed legalism to cut off our taproot into grace. In this course we will discover how Grace empowers you to become all that God designed you to be, apart from the Law or expectations of others. You will learn how Grace, apart from the Law, gives all men security and stability to grow and change.

Finished Work of the Cross

Paul’s letter to the Romans may be the most influential book in the history of Christianity. It was the Book of Romans that started the Reformation of the 16th great spiritual awakening since then. In this course you will learn all that Jesus accomplished for the human race when He declared “It is finished.” Romans will lay the foundation and bring the revelation that will equip you to release your world with the message of Radical Grace.

Soteriology

Through grace and the finished work of Christ, God secured for mankind absolute peace, yet most of us waver in our understanding of that peace. At its core, this security is rooted in our union with God in Christ. In this course you will learn all that grace has freely given to mankind through Salvation. Salvation is a full package of benefits that includes forgiveness of sins, healing, deliverance, and prosperity. This course will expand upon “It is finished” and the full relationship to God it provides.

The Apostles' and Nicene Creeds

The Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed stand as enduring foundations upon which Christian theology is built, not as rigid constraints but as faithful witnesses to the Church’s shared confession of the Triune God. Emerging from the life of the early Church and shaped through communal discernment, these creeds provide a coherent summary of the gospel: the Father as Creator, the Son as incarnate, crucified, and risen Lord, and the Holy Spirit as the giver of life. In doing so, they establish the essential grammar of Christian faith, safeguarding the mystery of Christ against distortion while inviting ongoing theological reflection. Far from stifling inquiry, the creeds function as a theological compass, orienting the Church across time and tradition toward the central truth that in Jesus Christ, God has acted decisively for the reconciliation and redemption of all.

New Creation Living

Throughout the Bible we discover literal or figurative expressions that constitute the human condition. Words like heart and mind seem to be used interchangeably with spirit and soul. Yet Paul makes a clear distinction of God’s desire for our wholeness, Spirit, Soul & Body (I Thessalonians 5:23). In this course we will explore the differences between Spirit, Soul, and Body. We will also learn how to separate the spirit from the soul for clarification and then unite them for cooperation. This course will teach you how to bring Spirit, Soul, and Body together to function as the three part man that God intended.

The Grace Culture and Community

Radical grace is not a new doctrine or truth that is just impacting our world today. In this course you will learn the roots of radical grace as taught by early church fathers. The Reformers themselves were convinced that pure grace was not only biblical but historical. Both the apostles and early church fathers walked in agreement that the heart of the gospel is Radical Grace.

Covenants from a Trinitarian Perspective

In this course, students will receive dual instruction to include an in-depth analysis of Covenantal Theology through the lens of Trinitarian Inclusion, as well as an overview of Trinitarian Theology itself.
