Colson Fellows

The Colson Fellows Program was designed for men and women with busy, complex lives, who want to learn how to respond to the current culture as a faithful Christian by developing an understanding of the worldviews and thought processes behind the current moral and cultural flashpoints we are facing and thoughtfully defend a biblical worldview through a daily curriculum that is carefully curated and updated each year.

You will read 12-14 books and attend two live webinars each month with leading Christian thinkers in a lively, free-flowing exchange of ideas. This, combined with a monthly meeting with your peers, provides for an intense and rewarding experience. You can expect that this program will require a minimum of approximately 6-7 hours per week to stay on top of the workload.
