Course Description

Christians are saved not just for eternal life (John 3:16). We are to become effective ambassadors of Christ (2 Cor 5:20) who can participate in God’s creative and redemptive purposes in our workplaces, churches, and societies. Our roles in this mission are bound up with how Christ has shaped our lives, training, experiences and even transitions. It is also informed by the talents he has called us stewards. This takes much discernment of the Spirit’s guidance.

Discerning your Life facilitates this process by providing biblical insights to how our work and lives matter for God’s mission of transforming the world. It will also provide analytical frameworks, tools, and spiritual mentoring to aid our discernment of how we can how we fulfil our ambassadorial role.

++ Note: The course fees are higher to cover the cost of a one-to-one personal coaching session and a one-to-one spiritual direction session.
