Course Reviews
Spiritual Disciplines
I have found that our studies have made me question my understanding of “Christian Maturity”. I thought that I was one after 37 years but I now realise that I became mature by ‘doing’ not ‘listening’. This I believe is why I do not feel as close to God as I would like, that I do not hear His voice through the Spirit. In my retirement is is time to learn to be still and hear Him.
Eat Pray Love Evaluate and Repeat
Unit 1 is a very practical way at looking at setting yourself up for success in the study of church ministry. Looking at goals, values and how to address your personal feelings and gauging your need for rest etc. It’s very gentle and offers practical lessons and advice that can be used in everyday life.
I am God's Masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) I am poetry to God (ref Amelia Pickering)
Working through this course is like peeling the layers off an onion. With each layer I am discovering more about myself that I really didn’t give much weight to. I’ve never thought about personal core values, and I found this quite challenging yet humbling. I’ve come to understand more fully and realise that my life is important to God and that I am his masterpiece, and he wants me to go deeper in Him. I am enough for Him; I am His child. Learning about the Spiritual Disciplines is like a breath of fresh air – so complete and purposeful and I’m wondering why I didn’t know about these before now. I’m still trying to make them a daily priority. I understand that my life has purpose, and God is the mastermind behind what I do with my life. He is my personal tour guide, showing me where to go and how to get where He wants me. God draws up the plans then in His own time he shares them with me. What do I want to do with my life? I want to serve the Lord, and I want to help others deepen their faith. At the time of writing this review I am co-leading our church, and I feel that God has me here for a reason. I am truly blessed to be in this position. This course is helping me stay grounded and giving me strategies and tips to lead our church forward.
This course continues to build foundation spiritual disciplines and leadership practices including; biblical study tools, prayer and spiritual disciplines. Students build a foundation for development as a Christian and as a leader through a process of personal and spiritual growth, thus undergirding all your spiritual life and ministry.

Course Reviews
Phenomenal teaching. Loved this sequence. I feel much stronger and equipped to lead. Thank you.
Phenomenal teaching! Thank you!
I found this course very informative, objective and concise. I liked that it goes beyond our understanding of the need to self-manage first and foremost, but that it shared important and specific information, so we, as leaders and emerging leaders can, demonstrate and use skills in, teaching, training, coaching and mentoring our team. I loved learning about leadership being all about influencing people to change, enlisting them to purpose and helping to establish a structure so that people can move forward towards their Jesus call in life, their goal of mission and strengthening their spiritual values. I loved to hear that biblical and authentic leadership is about the growth of others and leading them towards discipleship and spiritual change. Most importantly leadership is about responsibility. It stops with you. As Colossians 3:12 reads, ” 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Continue to lead well. Thank you.
Leadership is about influencing people to change and making Disciples!
I appreciated the focus on three specific roles in this class: First as Mentors, then as Coaches and then on Disciplers. It caused me to think about the kind of Mentor/Coach/Discipler Jesus was. His example is ALWAYS the best to pattern ourselves after, and this course kept bringing things back to Bible basics (2nd Timothy 2:2 as an example). I was glad that it felt like it went deeper than just an introductory or foundational level.
Seemed More "In Depth" Than Foundational, Which Was Good

Wow Wow Wow!
My goodness. I did not think I could ever become close to leading well. This sequence has encouraged, inspired, taught and given me momentum to want to become a great leader. It just demonstrates anyone can learn to lead well with the right information and tools. Thank you.
Outstanding Teaching and Training!
AXX Bible College has set the benchmark for outstanding Biblical teaching and training! They have covered a myriad of important components and included identifying and showing awareness of some tough characteristics around Biblical Authentic Leadership. This study sequence in particular and overall stream, is perfect for anybody who aspires or is inspired to lead well. I have grasped the complete concept of Biblical authentic leadership, and I have become aware of my own shortcomings; through the reflective tools you have provided. I now have a clear path for continued learning and growth in this area. I have stepped up in my ministry with committed responsibility being aware of the importance of choices, because of what this sequence has shown me. I now have a greater understanding and commitment to what it means to lead with Jesus Christ. Thank you.
