Week 7 - Response to Brett - Wednesday Lecture

“It does not require an incredible expertise but it seems to need heart, drive, and a mission from God.”

I think this is a beautiful thing about this model. It does not necessarily need a high level of theological knowledge. You learn by doing, and what you learn enables you to do more and better. And all of this can come from a “gut feeling”, out of compassion or a sense of injustice.

I feel like this model is accessible to literally anyone who genuinely wants to serve the Lord and show his love to the world. Other models like the translation model or the anthropological mode require to some extent some background knowledge and a certain reflexion, starting from theory to go to practice.

The praxis model can be lived out by theology doctors and by elderly people or old-fashioned housewives all the same, if they have the heart for it.
