Transitions: Learning from Naomi

Take Course
6 Month Access ($15.00 USD)

About this Course

Life is filled with transitions—from seemingly incidental to catastrophic. How do we navigate through the obstacles, messiness and challenges of everyday life? Sometimes it seems so “upside down” –not logical.  And without a deeper understanding of transitions, it is just that.  Join us as we follow the biblical “female Job”—Naomi—through incredible life trials. We will gain a better understanding of transitions, the key questions to process, including, where is God in the midst of chaos? And, how is it possible to thrive in the mud puddles and upheavals of life?

Course 5 :
Leadership Challenges

Take Course
12 Month Access ($20.00 USD)

About this Course

Leadership in any organization can provide some definite challenges. This course deals with three of them: The cost of leadership and a Biblical response to that cost; dealing with and resolving conflict; and understanding transitions and how transition is different from change. A good understanding of these issues and a strategy for dealing with them could make all the difference between success and failure. Daisy Santos, a leader in the business world as well as the local church is ideally equipped and suited to help us navigate these troubled waters.

A track is a group of courses that provide a guided program of study in a specific subject area.

Why should I work to complete a track?

Can I skip certain courses?

In order to complete a learning track, you must complete every course within that track. Some tracks, like the Biblical Languages tracks, also require courses to be completed in a specific sequence, though this is not true of all tracks.
