Course Descriptions

Fall 08
FOUNDATIONS/PERSPECTIVES – MODULE 1 (HI 101)
Designed to give students a chronological progression of history from Creation to current events. Philosophies, religions, literature, culture, and ideas that shape humanity are all explored in this framework.  Insight is broken down into four modules.  The first two modules cover the ancient and classical world, including its ideas, developments, and people. Modules 3 and 4 cover the expanding and modern world, beginning with the collapse of the Roman Empire and ending with current global issues.

Recommended prerequisite: writing experience
Credits: 2, Instructor: Hunt

Fall 08
PERSONAL CALLING & MISSION (MI 101)
This class will look at the idea of personal calling and mission throughout scripture along with several select readings from throughout church history.  The topic deals with the idea of God’s purpose for your life and your own unique gifting and preparation for ministry.  Each student will engage in personal profile studies and assessments as well as spend time outside class in solitude exercises.  There will also be a lot of discussion on faith, submission, prayer and spiritual disciplines.  
 
The goal would be for each student to finish the class with a deeper trust in God’s sovereign purposes for their life, greater clarity and direction for ministry and a growing desire and ability to spend time with and listening to God.

Credits: 2, Instructor: Wytsma
