Impact Students’ Behavior

The truth of the Bible is meant to be integrated into students’ daily lives so they will learn to make choices that will honor God. Character traits, case studies and discussions will work toward this aim, training students to see that behavior is not an external issue of trying harder, but a heart issue motivated out of gratitude toward God. An additional aim within life application is one of wholeness for the Christian student, void of a secular-sacred split. As students begin to see God at the center of all things and as the source of all areas of knowledge, they will no longer be tempted to live bifurcated lives in which sacred ideas have no bearing on secular and vice versa.

With the foundation of apologetics, worldview studies, and the ability to engage in culture at its foundational core, they will be equipped to fearlessly walk—knowing God and His ways and the world’s challenges to God—and be confident and conversant about the total truth Christianity offers. Unlike the double-minded man in James 1:6-8, this will lead to wholeness of mind, heart and action.
