This year at Regent College is turning out to be quite a treat. I’m getting to take more of the classes that I want to take or at least classes that are more directly uplifting to me spiritually. Not to say that it hasn’t been uplifting, but studying about Synoptic Gospels, Q, Greek, Exegetical techniques, and Hermeneutical theories from a number of dead German theologians... well, it just tends to weigh you down a bit.
This past term, I had a course called Inner Healing and Deliverance, which was by far one of my favorite courses at Regent. If you’d like, click here to read my final paper for the course. It might be hard to understand though because it assumes that you understand what it is writing about. The course was focused on what many call “Prayer Counseling” in which a troubled individual is counseled in conjunction with prayer. Many times, this is in response to a person being dysfunctional due to emotional baggage from the past. There’s much more to it, but I found it particularly helpful to me, because this course gave me the opportunity to seek God more carefully about some of my questions concerning Inner Healing and also physical healing.
This term is proving to be just as great as the last. I’m taking Empowering the Church for First World Re-evangelization, Preaching and Worship, Christian Discernment, and Supervised Ministry Year II. I’m telling you, it’s so much fun. Every course is encouraging me and pushing me farther in my faith, but it’s still work. That’s the update on school. Till later!
