Courses from Jarrod
Coming Soon
Jarrod is developing a set of online courses drawn from his teaching, writing, and pastoral work. Each is designed to be watched at your own pace, in your own home, with the depth of the Christian tradition brought to bear on the questions people are actually asking. The four courses below are in active development. Sign up below to be told when each opens.
Speaking the Sacred in a Secular Age
How to talk about faith when the culture has stopped translating it for you.
For pastors, teachers, and thoughtful Christians who want to speak about God and meaning without falling into either defensive apologetics or vague spirituality. Draws on the resources of the Great Tradition to recover a language of the sacred that holds up in ordinary conversation.
In development.

What Fred Rogers still has to teach us about presence, patience, and public voice.
A five-part course on the quiet virtues that shaped one of the twentieth century's most trusted public figures. For anyone whose work involves being seen and heard: teachers, ministers, parents, leaders, and anyone trying to speak steadily in a moment that rewards noise.

Course OutlineWhy Monsters Matter: How Are Darkest Stories Reveal our Deepest Longings
A theological reading of the monsters we cannot stop telling stories about.
From vampires to werewolves to the creature under the bed, our monsters have always been mirrors for what we cannot say directly. This course reads the great monster stories as theological texts, and asks what they reveal about grief, desire, memory, and the shape of a life.

Course OutlineA Story to Live By: Seeing Your Suffering in the light of Pilgrimage
The Christian tradition has always understood suffering as part of a journey. This course helps you find your place on the road.
For anyone in the middle of a hard season, whether illness, grief, vocational upheaval, or the slow undoing of a life you thought you were going to have. Draws on the pilgrim tradition, the Psalms, and Jarrod's own experience as a transplant survivor to help you see your suffering as part of a longer story.
