learning activities
I loved feeling like I was sitting with Rebecca and talking over a cup of coffee. She’s very easy to listen to and learn from. And this course was communicated with so much joy and enthusiasm. I learned so much, even defining terms or movements and ideas that have been convoluted in my mind previously. I have never been taught how to thoroughly study Scripture, and this course has been life-changing for both my own study and my teaching. Study well to teach well—I loved that challenge.
