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.
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: Becoming a Community in Mission
2025-11-13 08:00 - 09:30
The Becoming a Community in Mission resource is designed for the leadership of faith communities who want to create the conditions for human flourishing, embodying the very thing they desire to see in the world, and who are interested in exploring questions like, “What are the emerging social structures that will help form, shape and model the kind of humanity that leads to human flourishing? What kinds of communities can hold difference and create the conditions for everyone to belong, especially the most vulnerable?”
We refer to this type of organization as a Community in Mission (CiM). Such a community can take many forms, such as a local church, a non-profit organization, a public or private venture, or even a network. It can be Christ-centered, or rooted in other faith traditions. We celebrate all its forms. However, throughout this workshop (and all Street Psalms resources) we explore what a community mission looks like when rooted within the Christian tradition and committed to the common good as modeled by Jesus.
In this workshop, we will spend our time together in conversation and application in your context. We will focus on the movement from a system of sacrifice to a system of mercy. This is the core difference between a Community in Mission and a non-Community in Mission.
Before the workshop, please complete the following:
– Watch the Workshop Introduction video
– Read Module 1 in the See.Do.Be.Free. book OR the Becoming a Community in Mission resource
– Listen to the Becoming a Community in Mission 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 do you notice?
– What new ideas come to mind?
– What questions do you have?
