In this module, Emma Sargeant will be your guide to thinking theologically about your children's or youth work. Starting with explaining the concept of Thinking Theologically, Emma goes on to to share some personal reflections from her own experience and offers you space to reflect on yours. Emma poses questions to consider, such as "Where do you see God at work?" and "What's next for you and your ministry?"
Desired Learning Outcomes:

- To be able to start applying theological thinking to your own context
Emma Sargeant guides you through thinking theologically, offering opportunities to stop and reflect. You will need to have a pen and paper to hand throughout.
You might prefer to go through the content as a group; if you decide to proceed as a group, you can use the reflection prompts as discussion points.
There is a Further Resources section which gives you access to some of the content referred to and additional activity ideas and sheets for you to use, to encourage others to being thinking theologically.
