Practical Education, A Theme For Life.
In 1992 I set off for the high desert of northern Los Angeles to study Theology at the Masters College under John MacArthur, but despite the wonderful opportunity I had, I was unable to flourish in the typical classroom environment. Like many would-be students, the ability to digest 1 - 2 hour lectures while carrying a full 17 credit hour load with the homework, projects, and tests was just not manageable.
I had no problem learning material, but listening to instructors drone on and on, and spin out an endless amount of homework was just a ridiculous burden on me. I wondered how this related to being a disciple of Jesus. I wondered if Paul gave Timothy homework everyday, or more likely did he teach and then expected a performance review on how the teaching was applied.
Now that I understand a little bit better what being a disciple is all about, and how education is important, but that the application of education is where the proof actually lies. This is why I'm so thankful that Christian Leaders Institute brings education to a level that is flexible with your time and your money so that your education is tailored around your ability and schedule.
after only 2 1/2 years I graduated in May of 2021 with a GPA of 3.87 with 162 credit hours earning my Bachelor of Divinity Degree graduating with honors of Magna Cum Laude. I never thought I would be able to finish college, but CLI put my goal back in reach.
While my primary goal is completed, there are still other classes to take and learn from which I will add to this list as time goes on.
In addition to my studies at CLI, I have also completed 120 hours of OSH training to become a Certified Occupational Safety and Health Professional, and earning my Aquaponics Master Certificate from Nelson and Pade.
