Students will discover how God wants to do life in partnership and alignment. God is also the one that protects and fights our battles to give us victory, but we must be careful not to get a hard heart or begin to drift out of alignment. Part of the way to stay in alignment is to take time to ask God to reveal what may be keeping us from living the life He planned. This will be a practical course where student will have time to work through their personal discoveries, not just a theoretical study.
