Throughout the course of the Apprenticeship, the MAMW Department desires the student to focus on methodizing contextualized, effective communication of biblical and theological truth, through one’s art, by a variety of means for personal and corporate transformation.
Because I desire to grow in effective communication of Biblical and theological truths, I will:
- Blog regularly my experiences with Linda focusing on the theme of “receive”.
- Execute learning tools during my time with Rebecca.
- Build my website platform through blogposts, social media posts, and a monthly newsletter.
- Submit devotional content to YouVersion.
In order to execute these goals effectively I have broken them down into the following weekly, monthly, and semester goals:
- Bi-weekly interactions listening to previous recorded podcasts, lessons on building a recording “studio”, proper editing, and promotion best practices.
- Bi-weekly interactions with various art mediums and resource social media and blog posts in order to reflect.
- One blog post per month , 2-3 social posts per week, monthly newsletter distributed.
- Submit Christmas devo in the fall and Easter devo in the spring.
The following books will assist in the process of these goals:
- Discovering God Through the Arts by Terry Glaspey (completed)
- Start with Why by Simon Sinek (completed)
- Make Noise: A Creator’s Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling by Eric Nuzum. (completed)
- Culture Care by Makoto Fujimura (completed)
- Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose by Flannery O’Connor (completed)
In addition, I will use the following resources:
- Content calendar
- Mailerlite
- Social Media Scheduling Software
I will know that I was successful in these learning endeavors based on the following semester goals:
64 blog posts about my experiences with art.- 2 quality podcast episodes recorded and published.
- 6 newsletters sent (completed), weekly posting to social media
- Devotional for Christmas
and Easter submittedwith either a “no thank you” or a published date procured. Edited to account for opportunity to write a five-week small group curriculum for Legacy Church.
