For the last 25 years I have been coloring my Bibles with 8 colors, each representing a domain or institution found in all human cultures.  My quest has been to know if God had an interest in the areas to which the world gives so much importance and, if so, what His thinking is on each one of them.  The journey has been exhilarating and mind-bending as it relates to God, and how He relates to us on earth.  And the journey has no end…

This TTI six-week Intensive course will encourage you as a student to become a multidimensional thinker, learning to perceive, process and express a variety of points of view on contemporary, personal and social issues from a biblical perspective.

So what does that look like?  You will receive teaching on the Old Testament Template that looks at the spheres/domains of society and their biblical role and function.  You will learn a critical thinking model that will give you foundations on how to think and process through issues the world is facing today.  Lastly, you will learn a leadership tool for communication that teaches you to understand the intrapersonal dynamics that influence your thinking.

The last three weeks of the intensive will involve integrating the first three weeks of teaching through study, process, and real-life scenarios.  Some of the issues/topics we have looked at in the past have been:  Gay marriage, Just War, Mass Migration, Gender, Economic Crisis/Reset, Extremism, Immigration, Death Penalty, Global Woman’s Issues, Borderless World Expressed in Inter-faith Upheaval, Borderless World and Technology, Freedom of Speech, Human Rights, Terrorism etc…

The TTI 6 Week Intensive was originally taken from the Advanced Principles of Communication School that was started by Landa Cope in the College of Communications.  The first 6 weeks of the seminar is in a classroom setting at various YWAM locations.  If you are a College of Communications degree student, or someone who is wanting to spend more time looking at world issues, you can continue with our 6 week online course to receive all 12 credits towards your degree.

This six-week course requires the student to work at a mature level of self-motivation, initiative, and emotional stability.  It is an INTENSIVE therefore plan to set these 6 weeks aside for study!

In history, Christians have thought and acted in ways that influenced the communities and nations in which they lived. Much of that influence was positive, affecting things like the development of public education, workers’ rights, economic development, the concept of a free press, help for the victimized and disenfranchised. We believe that this kind of influence is lacking in Christian life today, and we would like to discover why. Martin Luther is noted as having said that a gospel that does not deal with the issues of the day is not the Gospel at all. We want to discover the biblical thinking that will address the issues of the 21st Century in an effective and redemptive way. There is a reason the Christian faith has become weak and ineffectual in dealing with issues of politics, economics, beauty, the family, and daily issues of life. We want to discover what has gone wrong, but more importantly, we want to rediscover the biblical basis that led generations of believers to influence their times.

We are searching, and we invite you to join the search. I have put the challenge of these questions on every continent of the world to presidents, members of cabinets, leaders in politics, business, and church. It seems to be striking a chord of need. In order to facilitate getting the message out and bringing multinational, multicultural thinking and faith to the process, we have begun this work. Our goal is to help bring vital relevant, effective Christian thought and action back into the 21st Century. We are on a journey with more questions than answers; we invite your companionship and contribution.

Transforming lives through Creation

IDI is the community development arm of Boltcutters Ministries International, working to end poverty, eliminate diseases, create shelter, and provide education as a holistic Christian community development ministry to people and their communities around the world.

Website: www.idisustainablecommunities.org

Working with individuals, communities, and local organizations IDI develops community development strategies – plan for each community – the “local” partners.  To implement this strategy IDI seeks “global” partners from around the world.  These international partners can include individuals, congregations, foundations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from the faith community.

IDI strives to provide an opportunity for the Church, the Body of Christ to realize its responsibility to “our neighbors” by sharing the gospel of Christ through deeds and words that proclaim His majesty and love for all!  IDI seeks partnerships with anyone committed to this simple, but life consuming responsibility of bringing Light to communities where darkness resides.

IDI coordinates its activities in four general areas of community development with people and their communities.

• Health & Wellness
• Shelter & Environment
• Education
• Economic Opportunity
