Months ago, I helped to put together a free course on faith and entrepreneurship for faculty teaching undergraduates through my work at the Center for L.I.F.E. (Leading the Integration of Faith and Entrepreneurship) at Miami University.
The course includes 14 Weeks of PowerPoints you can download and use in your classroom, along with videos, teaching notes, student assignments, and faculty preparation for each of the modules. The course offers students:
- An introduction to the faith and work ecosystem,
- Practical tools for developing resilience and sustainability in light of the challenges of entrepreneurship,
- A look at how entrepreneurs integrate faith into business and the process of raising capital,
- Perspectives on how Christian faith traditions integrate faith into work and business,
- And practical advice on how undergraduates can carry their convictions with them post-graduation.
The modules in the course include:
- Week 1: Models of Faith-Work Integration (Preview Notes and Slide Deck)
- Week 2: Understanding the Faith and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
- Week 3: The Interior Life of the Entrepreneur – Identity, Motives and Goals
- Week 4: The Interior Life of the Entrepreneur – Stress, Failure, Anxiety and Persistence
