- Course Overview
All apostles have certain things in common – like a natural desire to launch and lead new ventures – but not all apostles are the same. Some apostles focus more on starting things up from scratch, while other apostles focus more on scaling out from an existing organization. Some apostles focus more on city wide strategies, while others have more incremental, community based strategies.
In The Four Apostles online course, you will explore foundational characteristics common to all apostles, while also discovering the unique ways apostles can express their natural skills and sensibilities. Through biblical case studies, contemporary examples, and practical applications, you’ll learn about the four different types of apostles – The Frontrunner, The Frontliner, The Advancer, and The Ambassador – and gain clarity on how each type of apostle contributes to the movement Jesus started. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to recognize and appreciate the different types of apostles in your ministry context, positioning you to encourage and empower others in their callings. Â
