Rebuilding Your Faith in Silicon Valley Culture
|
| Teacher: Jeff Davis |
| When someone else screws up - it's a learning moment. When we
screw up it's often because we missed the chance to learn from
someone else's mistakes in the first place. When someone models the
right way to get something done - It's a learning moment. When we
get it right it is often the result of applying the good lessons we
learned from those who have gone before us and showed us the way.
This new class being offered captures valuable lessons from both
ends of the spectrum. The wisdom and insights for practical living
found in the book of Nehemiah are astoundingly relevant for today. |
| A sample of the topics that will be brought up in the class
includes: |
- How to persevere in the face of tremendous opposition.
|
- Managing life under corrupt leadership or authority.
|
- How to tell if it is God speaking to your heart and mind vs.
someone or something else.
|
- Moving from a dysfunctional religion to a vibrant God honoring
one.
|
- God's way of living in a multi-cultural / multi-religious
society.
|
- Politics and faith – or not.
|
- The role of the Bible for daily life.
|
- Principles of "rebuilding" – whether it is
rebuilding a brick wall, a shattered relationship, or a wounded
life.
