Course Reviews
The insight on Engel Scale
I am very blessed to find this new scale which open my eyes on the steps the lead someone to Christ (Evangelism) and Discipleship.
Encouraging, insightful and faith filled
Scott does a very good job at engaging me in his lectures. It’s easy to tell that he really believes in what he preaches, and the content is very interesting and relatable to today’s youth.
I really appreciate the short lectures to ensure I have time to make notes and reflect and take in what I learnt.
Such great insight
Been out of youth work for a few years and wanted to refresh and learn anew and this course is already challenging and preparing me for what I know God is calling me back into. Wonderful explanation of how discipleship looks in the context of youth ministry.
