Throughout this course you will learn about African American spirituality and the ministry of prayer, spiritual direction, and soul care through the lenses of ten African American spiritual leaders. You will look at how prayer, spiritual direction, and soul care were essential to the lives of these spiritual leaders and how they used these disciplines to move through trying and difficult times. Many of these leaders depended on the disciplines to make change and impact in the African American community. The need for these disciplines dates back to the time of slavery when slaves were being brought over from their land with nothing but hope and prayer.

  • Identify the disciplines of soul care, spiritual direction, and prayer.
  • Apply soul care practices for personal spiritual growth and direction.
  • Determine ways to implement soul care practices within your congregation.
  • Recognize the role of spiritual disciplines throughout African American history.
