The Academy

Great question!

Everything will run through this website; just login and you'll have access to everything. Within that, there will be four parts:

• Members only:
  • Weekly Zoom calls.
    
    • The goal is to keep Zoom groups under 20, so we'll add more Zoom sessions as necessary.
  • Zoom recordings.
    • All calls will be recorded and uploaded to an archive group.
• Members and Visitors
  • Review videos Course
    • This will be a very lightweight, supplemental course. I'll record summary/review videos (5-10minutes?) for each book and chapter to supplement the reading and upload them to this course. 
  • Community
    • Because is this even a 21st century group without one? Also, we'll use this for challenges and questions and encouragement and all the normal online group things.
    • This will be hosted here, not on any social media platform, so don't worry about having to have an account somewhere else or getting bombarded with ads. 

Not that much, I promise! :-D

My goal is about 10 pages a day, which should average to a book a month. In most cases, we'll meet that with some room to spare, as many of the books are less than 300 pages long, and we'll add on extra weeks for books that are longer or have thicker material.

We'll also take weeks off for holidays and such, so expect about 10 books/3,000 pages per year.

Great question! And no.... definitely not.... Probably not... It's a possibility.... Yes, absolutely for certain. :-)

Okay, jokes aside, here's kind of what I have in mind for the core track:

• Season 1: Core apologetics
  • Tactics, by Greg Koukl
  • Mere Christianity, by C S Lewis
  • I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist, by Frank Turek and Norman Geisler
  • How Now Shall We Live, by Nancy Pearcey and Chuck Colson
  • Finding the Right Hills to Die On, by Gavin Ortlund
  • Winsome Conviction, by Muehlhoff and Langer
• Season 2: Core Fiction
  • Enders Game Quartet, by Orson Scott Card
  • C S Lewis Space Trilogy, by C S Lewis
  • Lord of the Rings, by J R R Tolkien
• Season 3: Core Biblical Literacy
  • How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, by Fee and Stuart
  • How to Read the Bible Book by Book, by Fee and Stuart
• Season 4: Core Personal Development
  • Boundaries (Expanded and Updated), by Cloud and Townsend
  • Redeeming Productivity, by Reagan Rose
  • Getting Things Done, by David Allen
  • Atomic Habits, by James Clear

Obviously, other tracks, as we develop them, will have some other books. Christian living (expanding more on that Boundaries theme), theology of the body, entrepreneurship.... All kinds of options!

And you will be free to switch between tracks at any time. I'm using that for organization purposes, not commitments. So if the core track is doing a book you've already read, feel free to hop over to another once they get going.

The primary difference is that the Member will be able to join the live conference calls where we discuss the books, whereas both Members and Visitors will be in the community.

Yes, if you want a refund, I'll give you a full refund of that month's subscription. You are also free to cancel anytime.
