Is Your Faith Big Enough To Withstand Serious Questions?Well, if so, then you are ready for the Advanced Studies in Spirituality Program. Have you ever had the feeling that there’s more to religion than you’ve been told? Well, there is, and I can help you navigate past half truths and vague answers straight through to the real answers you’ve always wanted to know.It is actually true that religion scholars, clergy and other leaders have more information than they typically share with the “average” person. Why don’t they share it? The usual reason given is, “people aren’t ready for that kind of truth,” or “we just give people something they can believe in.” Of course these are just pat answers to some of the most important questions people have. Instead of providing real answers they just maintain the status quo. People don’t grow in their faith or in their understandings of other people’s faiths.
Maybe you’ll agree with me that this is not good enough. Many people, like you, tend to be people who want to know more. You want to know the secrets that scholars and clergy have been sitting on for centuries, right? That’s why the DaVinci Code has been so popular, people definitely want to know!
Well, I hear you. As a religion scholar, I constantly get asked a barrage of questions about religion and spirituality, what’s true and what’s not. So, I decided to offer my Advanced Studies in Spirituality program to meet your need to know. This program is usually offered as a series of twice-monthly telecourses that can be taken individually or collectively. We go indepth on a number of special topics to help you go beyond the easy answers. We get to the serious questions in a straightforward, plain language kind of way. I know people need information they can understand, so I keep my lessons clear and interesting.
This time I have partnered with my university, Loyola Marymount University to offer the following class in an online format this October:
Did you know that there were varying accounts about Jesus' identity right from the start?
This will be an informative, yet informal way to take a course with me. This program is guaranteed to take you to the next level in your spiritual growth. How Do I Sign Up? Registration will take place through LMU Extension. The course fee is $185. No university credit is given, but continuing education credits are available through the university. I'll keep this site updated for open registration. If you are anxious to sign up, drop me an email, & I'll hold your spot in pre-registration!
