Theology Guild
A step-by-step reading system helping busy Christians study theology like seminarians
+1 more
Many Christians want to study theology deeply but cannot justify the time or cost of seminary. Homegrown Theologian was built by Aden Russell to close that gap, giving busy believers a structured way to read theological books, retain what they learn, and grow without ever stepping into a classroom.
The course walks members through an 8-module, 67-lesson system paired with book-powered study guides, live Q&A calls, and a reading community for accountability. Instead of reading alone and forgetting most of it, members follow a repeatable process for choosing books, working through them, and applying what they find to their own walk with Christ.
Outcomes
- Build a seminary-level reading habit without the debt
- Read theology books with confidence and clarity
- Spot and counter false teaching with sound doctrine
- Stay accountable inside a community of readers
- Turn scattered reading into structured growth
