A plug for Southeast Christians Discipleship Class

I love DC. I started this 21 month intensive bible study about 3 years ago and like many other things in my life I quit after 2 1/2 semesters. We were having our first child and I was traveling a bit for work. I rationalized and justified my decision to drop out, and I always regretted it. The amazing thing about this program is that I was able to plug back it where I left off this spring. It has been great to be back sharpening and encouraging other guys at 6AM. I have been blessed by the wonderful group of guys and they have welcomed me into their close knit group with open arms.

This class basically takes you through the entire reading of the bible with discussions each week. Not only discussion of scripture, but also well thought out questions which apply directly to our daily walks. Each week we memorize a verse of scripture and recite it in front of the group. It's really not that scary. Everyone typically struggles with this part of the class. It is amazing how the scripture sink in and can be called upon when defending our faith or wording a prayer. The other part of the class, mainly in the second year, focuses on all the tough issues in doctrine, along with the history of the church.

I highly recommend it for everyone.
