Discuss identity as people made in God’s image who are destined to display God’s glory to the world.
Explore the concepts of work, suffering, and transition through selected readings and the study of select biblical passages and bible characters; and apply their growing understanding to their life story.
Identify the biblical truths that correspond to Brown’s research on wholehearted living and practice Brown’s ten guideposts to wholehearted living.
Develop greater self-understanding through engaging with the Enneagram and other learning activities.
Make an oral presentation that weaves together their reflection on transition and calling in the life of a biblical character and explores how that story resonates with their own story and awareness of God’s calling at this time.
