Workshop: Incarnational Design
2026-03-19 08:00 - 09:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
The Incarnational Design resource is part of a suite of resources that help faith communities cultivate human flourishing in their context. Key to realizing this vision is what we call a Community in Mission (CiM) that has a way of seeing, doing and being that frees it to love and serve. When modeled after the life of Jesus, a CiM exists, not for itself, but for the sake of the commons. CiMs are animated by the spiritual technology of the Incarnation, mystery of Word made flesh. In this resource, we apply that technology to the creative process we call Incarnational Design. Incarnational Design describes the creative partnership between God and a CiM. This partnership engages in the ongoing act of creation by developing models of social innovation that lead to human flourishing.
In this workshop, we feature the practice of Incarnational Design and its impact on the creational task of a community in mission, applied to your context. In the incarnational design chapter of the See.Do.Be.Free. book, we describe design phases and principles that help leaders with this type of process. However, we want to be clear: developing the capacity to participate in Incarnational Design has little to do with talent or skill. It mostly has to do with the desire to discern the move of the Spirit with a community in a given context. For that reason, much of the workshop’s focus will center on how we can practice this art of discernment.
Before the workshop, please complete the following:
– Read Module 4 in the See.Do.Be.Free. book OR the Incarnational Design resource
– If you have not already, please watch the Workshop Introduction video
– Listen to the Incarnational Design Workshop introduction:

As you read and listen to the items listed above, here are a few questions to keep in mind that we will be reflecting on together at the workshop:
– What new ideas come to mind? What questions do you have?
– How have you experienced the process of discernment as an individual? Within the context of a community?
After the workshop, we encourage you to complete the corresponding online course: Introduction to Incarnational Design. The online course is self-paced and includes recorded videos and reflection questions.
Who should attend: This event is open to everyone, regardless of registration in any seminary program. This workshop is part of the curriculum of the Incarnational Leadership Program at the Street Psalms Seminary. Register to join the Seminary community here >

Workshop: Incarnational Method
2026-02-12 08:00 - 09:30
In the Incarnational Method resource, we explore Jesus’ method of formation and how Jesus inducts his disciples into a shared humanity. We also explore the implications of this methodology for a Community in Mission that wants to create cities of peace for all people where everyone belongs.
In this workshop, we will spend our time together in conversation and application in your context. Namely, we will explore Jesus’ method of formation and how Jesus inducts his disciples into a shared humanity, and how we can make this come alive in the communities we serve.
Before the workshop, please complete the following:
– Read Module 3 in the See.Do.Be.Free. book OR the Incarnational Method resource
– If you have not already, please watch the Workshop Introduction video

As you read and listen to the items listed above, here are a few questions to keep in mind that we will be reflecting on together at the workshop:
– What new ideas come to mind? What questions do you have?
– How have you been formed?
– How could the incarnational method transform the communities you serve?
After the workshop, we encourage you to complete the corresponding online course: Introduction to the Incarnational Method. The online course is self-paced and includes recorded videos and reflection questions.

Workshop: An Incarnational Hermeneutic
2026-01-15 08:00 - 09:30
Hermeneutics is the art of interpretation. Traditional fields such as law and social sciences, along with theology, rely on hermeneutics to make sense of, or interpret the meaning of source material. Biblical hermeneutics, likewise, focus on principles for interpreting Scripture.
When it comes to Biblical interpretation, we believe the question isn’t, “What does the text say?” The question is, “Through whose eyes do we read the text?” This question is important because it defines the result of the interpretative experience. If we dare to read the Bible through the eyes of a God in whom there is no violence, a God who is in rivalry with nothing, not even death, we will find out that Scripture is good news for the most vulnerable of this world. In addition, we will find ourselves in the hands of a God who speaks through the Bible to reveal humanity’s violence for what it is: our futile efforts to create peace.
Jesus’ response to the many questions he is asked throughout Scripture is a daring act of interpretation. In fact, Jesus is revealed throughout the Gospels not as just another interpreter of sacred texts, but as the very Presence of God who is, for us, a living hermeneutic.
In this workshop, we will spend our time together in conversation and application in your context. We will focus on what it means to read scripture through the eyes of the forgiving victim, and what the implications are for incarnational leaders.
Before the workshop, please complete the following:
– Read Module 2 in the See.Do.Be.Free. book OR the Incarnational Hermeneutic resource
– If you have not already, please watch the Workshop Introduction video
– Listen to the Incarnational Hermeneutic Workshop introduction:
https://streetpsalms.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Hermeneutic-Workshop-Intro.mp3

As you read and listen to the items listed above, here are a few questions to keep in mind that we will be reflecting on together at the workshop:
– What new ideas come to mind? What questions do you have?
– Think about through whose eyes you read Scripture and see the world. How has that shaped you?
After the workshop, we encourage you to complete the corresponding online course: Introduction to the Incarnational Hermeneutic. The online course is self-paced and includes recorded videos and reflection questions.
