Biblical Worldview, online discipleship class

NEW ONLINE COURSE STARTING 3/7/2023

Biblical Worldview – How to Think Biblically in a Deceptive World is a pre-recorded online Christian discipleship course that students can take at their own pace.  The course provides practical training for Christians, teaching a biblical process of filtering emotions, thoughts, decisions, and circumstances through the biblical lens of God’s Word.  The course is appropriate for believers of any Christian maturity level as a solid foundation for biblically navigating a fallen world. The world we live in is very deceptive.  The premise for the class comes from Paul’s writing to the church in Corinth, We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Cor. 10:5 

This online Christian discipleship course will tackle tough topics like anger, unforgiveness, depression, ethical dilemmas, and more – training believers to respond biblically to the myriad of circumstances believers face daily.  It is a proven, invaluable Christian discipleship training that has helped hundreds of believers enjoy the freedom that comes from aligning what we think, say, and do with God’s Word, which sets us free!
