Reviews from Students
Life-giving. I learned a lot about myself as we were reviewing the material. We all have similar struggles, and God will always help us find a way to overcome them. God will always send us who and what we need. I would absolutely recommend this course. I believe that we all need to learn to love and help one another.

I desired to learn more about how people think, behave, and act—what makes them tick. In learning that, I learned how to meet them in their need and encourage them. Even if you don’t counsel others, this course can give you insight and confidence in talking to and encouraging others.
-Gina W.
I took this class to help me better serve and understand others. I learned that people have real issues and most want to be helped or shown how to overcome those issues. Would I recommend this course to others? Yes!!!
