“Because of health problems and lack of availability of Lay Servant courses [near me], my journey took three years. I would not have been able to complete it without the availability of the BeADisciple courses.”

“I find this learning technique, for my 71 yr. old self, is great!  I feel no peer pressure as being in a physical classroom, I feel I can take the time I need to understand the concept of the day, and best of all, it fits into EVERYONE’S lifestyle–no matter where one lives or hours worked!”

“My instructor and Lisa Buffum were right there to answer any questions! In my opinion, I learned more in this online course then I would have in an actual classroom. I was able to get my questions answered immediately! I feel so much more confident to approaching my church with questions and jumping in the pool instead of tip toeing through the puddles!”

“I went online and found the BeADisciple site, and the next thing I knew, my life changed!”

“Please keep adding new courses.  BeADisciple is an invaluable resource for lay and clergy.”

“I liked that doing it online enabled me to take a class with people interested in the same topic but located all over the USA.”

“I really appreciated being able to access this course online, as I live 4.5 hours from areas where it is offered in person and taught in a straight 10 hour format.  The online format also made it possible to actually engage over time, think, pray, etc.”

“This was my first experience with a BeADisciple.com course and I thought it was better than face-to-face LSM courses I have taken. The daily format (vs a full day or 2 half days) allowed us to pause and process the material.”

“I like taking courses from BeADisciple. Online learning matches my time availability and budget, and the courses match my interests.”

“I liked the self-paced nature of using Blackboard, which gave me time to reflect on others’ comments before I added my own to the “conversation”. In a live classroom setting I often think of things I would have liked to say or say differently after the class. This setting gave me time to consider my comments.”

“I liked that I could sit down at 11pm at night, when my time allowed, to participate.”

“In our local classes, I rarely say a word as I don’t always think fast on my feet. Online gives me time to think things through and re-read and delete before I commit to speaking.”
