What is the Web of Theology (WOT)?
Welcome to the Web of Theology.
February 8, 2009What is the Web of Theology?
February 8, 2009Welcome to the future of theology. The Web of Theology is an assessment tool that provides users with a robust analysis of their theological worldview. After answering about 60 questions the Web of Theology automatically constructs an in-depth profile of each user’s theology, filled with charts, pictures, and intriguing insight.
No belief exists in isolation. We often belief things because of other things we believe. For instance, what we think about the nature of Jesus is often dictated by what we think human nature is. Our beliefs are interrelated in unique and complicated ways. The Web of Theology can:
(1) Expose the logical and symbiotic relationship between our many beliefs.
(2) Greatly increase our self-awareness (like a theological GPS)
(3) Help us understand why others disagree with us.
(2) Personalize and simplify the complicated, abstract and intangible concepts of theology.
(3) Expose how our FAMILY may influence our beliefs.
(4) Expose how our VALUES may influence our beliefs.
(5) Expose our theological strengths and weaknesses.
And MUCH more!
The Web of Theology for Small Groups.
February 8, 2009Small groups that use the Web of Theology have a better sense of direction, have better communication, and have a better understanding of everyone’s perspective. This is important because it is easier to challenge each other when you understand where each other is coming from.
Have each member of your group take the Web of Theology. Then, share with each other the highlights of your profile. Or, better yet, exchange profiles with each other so you can read about each others perspective. Also, the Web of Theology places participants in one of nine possible compartments. Locate where each member of your group lands in the 9-part chart.
The Web of Theology is a GREAT tool for small groups and Bible study groups. It is a fun way to learn about others in your group.
The Web of Theology for Churches.
February 8, 2009
The Web of Theology is a GREAT way to attain valuable data about the health and status of your congregation and/or staff. The great thing about the WOT for churches is that everybody gets something out of it. Each participant gets their own in-depth theological analysis and the church leaders get powerful metadata, giving them the visibility to more effectively lead.
Start with the leadership team. Have each leader take the WOT and compare profiles. You will be surprised at what you find.
After the leadership team, you will want to assess the congregation. Three things about this:
(1) The WOT assessment can be customized to obtain the specific data you need to leverage your church’s specific objectives. Speak with a WOT team member about customization.
(2) Gather the WOT data before planning your sermons for the year. The tool can help expose immediate needs that the congregation may have. The tool can show where the congregation is lacking in understanding.
(3) Use the WOT for justification of your objectives. The WOT team can help your leadership team create the data and metrics you need to support your mission. We can even do comparables to show the before-and-after data to measure the impact and significance of a specific campaign. Contact the WOT Team for more information.
