Student Shout Outs
“ As a Christian I have studied God’s word for 25 years. After taking Dr. Isaac's Biblical Hermeneutics course my eyes were opened to just how much I was missing. For the first time in my life, I was able to understand the word of God as He intended it for me. Every Christian interested in knowing God’s will with a deeper understanding of His word should take this course. I highly recommend it!.”
I have taken the Biblical Worldview course with Professor Isaac several times. Each time I take the course, I am challenged to continue to align my thoughts and actions with God's Word.
Pastor Merryman is one of the most gifted teachers of God's Word that I have ever had the privilege of learning from. His deep understanding of God's Word is paired with a down-to-earth style and emphasis on practical application.
Professor Isaac is a passionate and inspirational teacher of Scriptures. I have taken several classes under her leadership. She provides insight and clarity for every passage. Her lessons are engaging and she asks provocative questions to challenge her students and stimulate their thinking. Professor Isaac seeks to make the Scriptures applicable in our everyday life.
"The curriculum is challenging, and the faculty amazing. It is helps me grow in my relationship and walk with Christ. Biblical training is also equipping me to align my decision making with God's Word and His plans for the people we serve.
For anyone looking to grow in their Christian journey, better equip themselves to serve, and even earn credits and university level degrees, I highly recommend the Fully Equipped Bible Institute."
I am blessed by the Fully
Equipped Bible Institute.

This course has truly been life changing. The reading, the weekly meetings and what I am learning has been like no other course I have taken. I truly Praise God for what He is doing in me.
I have been profoundly impacted, not just by the content but by the way Doctor Victoria manages the virtual classroom and engages each student, allowing us to share our experiences and learn from each other. The emphasis on Jesus as the pattern or the leadership model has given me the drive and passion to daily pursue His way as I serve His people. One of the statements that impacted from one of our sessions: “If you don’t lead from the Presence, you will lead from your own strength.”
