Helping Someone Overcome Shame and Despondence

Helping Someone Overcome Shame and Despondence

Elyse Fitzpatrick takes us through a case study involving a homeschooling mother of five who has faithfully worked to educate her children and train them for the Lord. But the unthinkable has just happened. We will call her Madeline and her eldest daughter, who is 17, is pregnant. Madeline is crushed when she discovers that Hannah has been living a double life.

Elyse Fitzpatrick provides insights for helping people in situations like these overcome their shame and despondence by using gospel truths of forgiveness, belovedness, and adoption.

Student-Centered Education

Student-Centered Education

Theological education should reflect Christ’s love and focus. One of the proverbial puzzles in education is how to keep the student at the center, while also maintaining high standards that push students beyond where they would naturally push themselves. We quickly find ditches on either side of the path of theological education. The pit on one side is lowering the academic bar by allowing students to define it. The pit on the other side is placing the school at the center.

The Meaning of "Son of Man"

The Meaning of "Son of Man"

After watching this lecture and working through two short additional readings, you can experience the effect this understanding can have on your interpretation of this phrase wherever it is used in the New Testament.
