Before beginning your daily study, students are encouraged to commit time to prayer, worship, and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As Scripture teaches, drawing near to God deepens understanding and spiritual growth.

Students are encouraged to maintain a prayer journal to document their prayers and God’s faithfulness in answering them, strengthening both faith and spiritual discernment throughout the program.

Students must approach Scripture with humility, recognizing that full understanding comes through both the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit. The purpose of this program is not only academic understanding, but spiritual revelation and transformation.
