disc-centurions1The brainchild of BreakPoint founder Chuck Colson, the Centurions Program takes committed Christians from across the country and adds heft to their existing understanding of their faith.

Through a year-long, distance learning process, with three group residencies in Lansdowne, Virginia, Christians from a wide array of backgrounds and career interests converge to sharpen one another as they learn about the ways a Christian Worldview can shape the culture around us.

Outstanding faculty have been a part of the Centurions Program from its beginning seven years ago. Great minds like Dr. Neal Plantinga, president of the Calvin Theological Seminary, Dr. Robert K. Johnston of Fuller Seminary’s Reel Spirituality Institute, and Chuck Colson himself engage directly with each year’s class of Centurions at the residencies and year round on the Centurions online message board.

With over 600 Centurion alumni already making an impact in their parts of the country with their chosen Christian worldview projects, the hope of Chuck Colson to raise up a “school of prophets” like Samuel in the Old Testament is coming into being, year after year.

I had the chance to sit down and talk with our national Centurions Program director, Martha Anderson, and T.M. Moore, the dean of the Centurions Program and BreakPoint’s resident theological advisor.

“Discourse,” an occasional podcast on BreakPoint, applies a Christian worldview lens to a broad range of issues related to contemporary culture. Stephen Reed, a Centurion in the class of 2008, is a former talk radio host and serves as Web content editor for the Colson Center.
