In this course, learners will look at five biblical women through the lens of H.O.P.E. (Honesty, Opportunity, Persistence, and Efficacy), explore active waiting, and find ways to engage more hopefully in the world today.
They’ll see how…
…Tamar controls her waiting, deceives, and forces honesty from the dishonest!
…Hannah opportunistically pleads for the end of her waiting, and then opportunities abound!
…Anna persists through decades of waiting and is victorious!
…Elizabeth and Mary take effective action to bring about the realm of God!
And learners will find ways to become active agents of H.O.P.E. themselves.
This course is eligible for 2.0 CEU.
