If you lead in any way, shape, or form, this course is for you. Andrew Damazio takes us through 7 questions every leader should consider.

In these letters we will get to see Paul’s pastoral side and learn from how he dealt with such a hectic time in church history.
Character of God
How does God describe himself? What is God’s character? If Muslims believe that Allah has the same nature as YAHWEH then how are they different? What does God’s character reveal about us and how we should worship him? We’re going to answer all these questions and more in this course!
Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy is perhaps the most important book in Scripture. This is both because of its unique position in the Bible, and its unique genre and the theological implications of it. Deuteronomy is foundational in our understanding of the Bible and Jesus. If we are to become more like Jesus we have to understand the book of Deuteronomy.
Paul and the Powers
If you are a christian and believe in God and his activity in this world, the natural next step is to look at the powers and how they interact with the world!

Luke and Acts
Although they are separate books within the New Testament, the books of Luke and Acts are best seen as one work divided into two books.You might call the one work “History of Christian Origins”, it continues the story beyond Jesus and shows how the Church continued his life and ministry.
Intro to the Gospels
Why do we need an introduction to the Gospels? Imagine how different the world was at the time of Christ! As we open the pages of the New Testament, there are questions we need to be asking: Who are these Pharisees? What is a Synagogue? Who are these Sadducees? Who is Herod? When we open the Gospels we are entering a different world!
Nature of God
The nature of God is probably the hardest part of God to comprehend, because it is his nature itself that is most incomprehensible.
Biblical Faith
The goal of this course is simple: To build your faith. But before we can do that, we need to be on the same page about what faith is.
ARMA Fundamentals
30 days can completely transform the way you read and understand the Bible. The truth is that the Bible is confusing for a lot of reasons.

Philippians
Many would say the theme of this letter is joy, however, Paul has a lot more to say to this church than just that.
Hermeneutics
The Bible was written in other languages, to ancient people groups, and is nearly 2000 years old. For modern believers to apply it to life today we have to interpret it well.

In this letter the debate and struggles of the early Church are put on full display. You may have heard one of Galatian's notorious verses about justification and faith, but there is much more for us to learn.
Women in Ministry
Often times we debate whether it is Biblical for women to be in modern ministry by misusing passages written by Paul, but if we look deeper we might discover a different meaning.
Proverbs
Proverbs deals with real practical everyday life situations. Proverbs helps us answer the question: How can Christians live a wise, knowledgeable, righteous, and successful life?
The Gospel of Mark
Why doesn't Mark include the birth or early life of Jesus? Why does it feel like Mark is rushing through this thing? Where are all the parables? Dive into Mark and discover what makes this Gospel unique.
Exodus
Exodus is a foundational book for understanding Old Testament theology. Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Old Testament, but when he wrote Exodus he was writing the events that he actually lived through.
Systematic Theology I
Most Christians know some theological truths, but they don't know where that truth can be found in scripture or how those passages applied to original Biblical audiences.
Intro to the Bible
There is a gap between us and the audiences of the Bible. Scripture is an ancient document that was written for us, but it was not written to us. Uncover the fundamentals that help us understand the Bible.
Amos
If we're being honest, most of us completely overlook Amos. It was important enough to be included in the Bible, and we have to answer this question: What does this farmer turned prophet have to say?
Systematic Theology II
In part 2 of Systematic Theology, we continue our journey to develop a firm theological foundation. Systematic theology is a great place to start understanding theology and scripture for yourself.
Genesis
As infamous as this book may be, there are still a lot of questions most people leave unanswered. Step into the ancient world, look at Genesis with a fresh perspective, and see beyond the surface.
Revelation
Revelation is a controversial topic in the modern church. Is this a prophecy of the end times? Have the events described already happened? Where do tribulation and the rapture fit into all of this?
Ephesians
Ephesians could have been written yesterday. The letter addresses gender inequality, racial divisions, culture in the home, division in churches, the identity of believers, spiritual warfare, and so much more.
