Term 1

May 23 - June 24, 2022


Growing in Prayer

Matt & Dana Chandler

Tuesday,  1pm-2:30pm, Online Only

More than an event, meeting, or discipline, prayer is the joyful center of devotion to Christ, the fuel of missions, and the means of receiving the Holy Spirit, grace, and power. Yet many believers are discouraged in prayer and aren’t sure what to do about it. They feel stuck in impersonal, inconsistent, and joyless prayer, disconnected from life and God’s story. In this course, we will discover and practically establish the path for an enjoyable life of prayer grounded in the Word and satisfied in Christ.

Introduction to the Global Prayer Movement 

David Sliker

Tuesday,  3pm-4:30pm, Online Only

As students join IHOPKC and IHOPU for a season of growth in prayer, intimacy and ministry training, it is crucial to look at the bigger picture together. God has been building a praying Church throughout the generations and is doing a profound work in our day and hour. Thus, in order to effectively engage in the training of this season, students will first be immersed into the storyline of the Global Prayer Movement, as well as the prophetic history and core values of IHOPKC.

God’s Plan of Redemption

Nathan Steel

Monday,  3pm-4:30pm, Online Only

We are living in an hour of history in which great darkness is filling the nations. The daily news reports of wars, famines, and great suffering. In light of this many are asking: Who can solve these problems? Does God really exist? If so, does He even care about the darkness and injustice? In this course we will look at the reality of the present darkness in the earth and lay a foundation for understanding God’s plan to end all injustice. This course will focus on giving the student an overview of God’s glorious plan to end injustice, restore all things and establish His kingdom on the earth in fullness. We will study the final execution of His plan in the end times and the crucial role of the praying church in partnering with God to bring His Kingdom to the Earth as it is in Heaven.

Introduction to Forerunner Theology

Jakob Pilz

Tuesday, 10am-11:30am, Online Only

Just as God used John the Baptist as a forerunner to prepare the way for Jesus’ first coming, so the Lord is raising up forerunners who will boldly and fearlessly proclaim His return. “Forerunner” is a term that can be used to refer to spiritual leaders who God raises up to prepare His people for the transitions in His emphasis and activity. It is their job to understand when a new season is breaking in upon the earth like the sons of Issachar in the days of King David who knew the signs of the times and how to give leadership to the people of God in an hour of crisis. In this course, we will look in depth at the following topics: the nature and unique dynamics of a transitional generation, the nature and purpose of the forerunner ministry, biblical models of the forerunner ministry, and the lifestyle of a forerunner.

Term 2

June 27 - July 29, 2022


Song of Solomon

David Sliker & Dana Candler

Tuesday,  1pm-2:30pm, Online Only

The Song of Solomon is also called, “The Song of Songs” or the greatest song ever recorded. A title like this, from the son of the most prolific songwriter in Israel’s history from a man who had written 1,005 of his own songs speaks to the power and value of this particular song. From ancient Israel to modern times scholars and commentators have understood the underlying picture that Solomon presented to us: the love of a Bridegroom God for His people. The overall goal is for this class to help us understand the progression of grace and holy passion, or our journey into maturity in love by grace. The Song of Solomon provides the clearest picture of this progression in the word of God.

Foundations of Grace

Dane Mallernee

Tuesday, 3pm-4:30pm, Online Only

Walking in the power of grace extends to all aspects of life, from how we relate to God and others to how we utilize our resources. Through this course, students develop a biblical perspective as they consider and experience grace as the foundation of everyday Christian living. Topics of teaching include the identity of a Christian as a new creation, God’s intention for the family, and the Christian’s practical response to grace. Class sessions incorporate both lecture and discussion time.

The Excellencies of Christ 

Dane Mallernee

Monday,  1pm-2:30pm, Online Only

Christ was the longing of all the Old and New Testament saints. Our greatest needs are met in Him, and our highest joys are found in Him. Like the apostles, we must keep Christ central in doctrine and practice, for Christ is the highest revelation of God to humanity and the clearest revelation of humanity to God. This course delves into the great mystery of the God-man, Jesus Christ. The student will explore the wonder of Christ’s pre-existence, incarnation, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and return.

How to Study the Bible

Zachary Van Buren

Thursday,  1pm-2:30pm, Online Only

The highest aim of Bible study is to be transformed in love as we know and behold the beauty and glory of Jesus. When paired with the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God is our primary access point, plum line, and guide to finding fullness of joy in knowing Jesus. "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full" (John 15:11). How to Study the Bible seeks to give students the values, understanding, and skills necessary to mine the scriptures for all they contain as we seek together to grow in the knowledge of God and fullness of love.
