The NABF Theo-Futuring Sessions is an engaging three-part online experience designed to help you faithfully navigate an ever-changing world.
This three-session online training series offers participants a compact introduction to Theo-Futures thinking. Co-designed and co-facilitated by the Futuring Hub and CBM, it is designed to help ministry leaders interpret change faithfully rather than reactively.
Across three 45-minute engagements, participants will build baseline futures literacy, practice theological imagination, and generate embryonic strategic insights for faithful leadership in your changing ministry context.
