Welcome to the Character Course
We’re so glad you found us.
I’m Roger, a psychologist working at the University of Lincoln (UK). And this is Rick, a filmmaker and director of Blink Creative. We’ve been working together on The Character Course for the last few years. All thanks to a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation.
Put simply, the Character Course brings together the most up-to-date psychology with ancient biblical wisdom. In eight sessions, it covers key themes of Christian discipleship: learning, hope, love, forgiveness, gratitude, humour, persistence and curiosity.
This site has everything you need to run it: videos, leader notes, scripts and handouts. All free to download. It’s designed for small groups, but you can complete it however you like: alone or in a group, live or online. It works best when you share the journey with others. Each session has a short video to watch, a bible passage to ponder and a practice to try out.
If you’re not quite sure how to get started, download the first set of leader notes here. The first few pages give you the basic gist of what’s involved. And if you have any further questions about the course, feel free to email us.
Whoever you are, wherever you are doing. We trust this course will be a great blessing to you.
Roger and Rick
