Our Bible-based education provides a firm foundation for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the Bible, wanting to enter ministry, or be able to serve in any mission field prepared to help people find and follow Jesus.
Each course delivers powerful learning through short, impactful lessons. Graduates gain practical tools and broad knowledge they can immediately apply to Real Life leadership.
Leading others to Jesus is about understanding how the Bible fosters a relationship with God. Our Practical Ministry courses build your confidence and equip you for real-life application.
If you feel called to serve, Real Life University equips you to meet people where they are and lead them toward life change. Graduates are licensed as pastors, ready to make a meaningful impact.
Graduates of Real Life University serve as pastors, lead in charities, or find purpose in global missions. Others make their greatest impact through quiet discipleship.
Learn practical skills and gain the confidence to lead with purpose every day.
This isn’t just a program—it’s a life-changing journey. Over the course of your program, you’ll experience a powerful blend of spiritual formation, leadership training, and real-world ministry that prepares you for a lifetime of impact.
Pastor Micah Davidson, PhD, has created a 9-month program that condenses seven years of seminary into monthly, heart-and-mind-focused modules. Real Life University offers a sound, practical education to build your foundation. Upon completion, you'll be eligible to become a licensed pastor.
For most people, pursuing a career in ministry requires a lengthy and expensive college education. That isn’t always a possibility. Real Life University provides a Biblically sound and affordable education in a reasonable, self-paced timeframe. What you will learn is useful and can be applied right away.
Real Life University is online, but you can enrich your experience through optional live seminars and global mission trips. Attend two-day events to connect with instructors and gain hands-on training from seasoned missionaries. Celebrate your achievement with a live licensing ceremony in Austin, Texas, alongside friends and family.
With our support team by your side every step of the way.
