The accelerated Pastor’s Class led by
Dr. Hedges is changing my life. One of
my gifts is input but input is a double edged sword. I desire input so I read five books at a time
including my Bible. When I need to
reference the material it is lost and tumbling around somewhere in my brain so
I don’t know how to retrieve it. This
is all changed with the Pastors/Ministers Class.
Each month Dr. Hedges introduces a new
book to read. When completed each
student writes a paper describing each chapter.
Then we personally say how we can practically integrate this information
into our daily lives in the form of application. Lastly we are challenged with analyzing the
material. Did we agree or did we
disagree? We write out 5-9 pages in our
final paper.
With this detailed method of
summarizing, practical integration and analyzing I am more able to retain the
information acquired. I find after only
three months of attending discussion groups that I can easily sort out the
information in my brain and know exactly where it was from and who the author
was. Before my mind just went a million
miles an hour and I felt like a baby hamster running in a little bitsy wheel,
always spinning but getting nowhere. The
Pastors class has made it easier for me to articulate and feel confident in
what I have learned and read. What a blessing this class is and how wonderfully
it has changed my life.
