We are all born into this world pure and clean, but then something happens.  Dysfunctional families, trauma, suffering, on-going sin, disappointment, incorrect teaching — just to name a few — can have an enormous impact on how we view God, how we see ourselves, and how a false-self is formed.  In this seminar we will explore who God is, who God says we are, and the healing journey back to our true and authentic self.

There is more to learning than memorizing, but memorizing is essential to the learning process.  As disciples of the Master Teacher, there is much about the Christian life that involves learning and remembering.  It is most useful for Bible students, and preachers and teachers to have a quick and accurate recall of Scripture references, memory verses, and much more.  This course is designed and intended to be immensely practical.  We will give careful attention to obstacles, principles, attitudes, skills, tools, and many other matters that affect our success at memorizing.  The instructor’s personally-designed, color-coded system will be presented.
