Wherever there is a church, there is a classroom. Where there is internet access, there is a teacher.
The Carroll Teaching Network delivers accredited theological education to Christ-centered leaders in their contexts through several delivery methods (a traditional classroom setting, online with Carroll Live, or a self-paced environment).
Here you may register for available Reader courses.
We work with a network of over 1,000 local churches. Each has access to these same courses often at reduced prices. Please contact your Church Leadership about their Carroll Teaching Network portal, or starting one.

The Petrine Epistles
Dr. Sharon Gresham
Wednesdays 6:30pm-8:00pm CDT

Three times he denied he knew the Christ. Three times the Christ restored him. Peter was a simple fisherman made into a fisher of men. Bold, headstrong, and sometimes rash, Peter was also shaped by Jesus into the leader of the Apostles, performing miracles and establishing the pattern of the early church’s preaching. Peter left an enduring legacy of commitment to Christ in his letters to the church of God. Find out more about the theological viewpoint of this Galilean fisherman turned church leader with Dr. Sharon Gresham as she explores the Petrine Epistles, 1 and 2 Peter.

How could a good God allow such pain and suffering? Find the answers this fall in the course Pain and Suffering, which addresses the biblical, theological, and philosophical issues of theodicy.
