Applications are open for our fully online, one-year Foundations in Kingdom Theology Course, starting this September!

📚 Explore the Bible, theology, church history, and leadership with WTC faculty.

⏰ Weekly sessions on Wednesday evenings, Sept–May.

For more information: bit.ly/4kcBXuy

Quote from a participant “I have - and will - recommend this to others because it does exactly what it is meant to; gives you a better foundation for your faith in Jesus and a better understanding of how you fit into His story”

Quote from participant “you will definitely learn loads, can ask any questions you have, and will find your understanding, thinking and views stretched. You will certainly not be bored!”

Quote from participant “I came away from the Foundations Course with a renewed interest in Theology and the desire to continue studying.

Dedicating this time every week has strengthened my faith and helped me share what I have learned with others”

Quote from participant “as someone deeply invested in both lived experience and academic engagement, this program has been transformative. It offered not only a solid theological grounding but also a deeply reflective and Spiritual-led environment that nurtured both my intellect and my faith”

The call to visit prisoners is often neglected, but in doing so we also neglect Jesus himself. @sarahcoppin.substack.com speaks to TheoDisc about her heart for prisoners, and how @wtctheology.org.uk is delivering theology to those in prison.

In this episode of TheoDisc, Lucy reflects on the Christian vocation to hold suffering and the goodness of God together, not as a contradiction, but as a powerful witness.

In our self-made, self-taught culture, we often resist the posture of being taught. But what if receiving someone’s teaching is actually letting them love us?
