On-line Distance Learning Course This course is for Christian educators who want to impart a greater sense of meaning and purpose to students of all ages. Explore how connecting with the “bigger picture” of a biblical “world-and-work view" increases meaning and elevates the value of academics and daily activities, for both students and teachers, through engaging in Kingdomcentered work, beyond themselves, yet in the here and now. Practical learning tools are presented, including a mind-mapping technique for incorporating the biblical worldview into lesson plans using an “Integration Conversation Starter,” a “Truth and Baloney Detector” for developing critical thinking skills relative to comparative worldview analysis, a “DADI Plan” tool for aligning biblically-informed beliefs with daily activity, and practical ways for making Kingdom-centered work an integral part of each day. This course is life changing! This distance learning course is available to participants anywhere in the world via the Internet. Participants have up to one year to complete the course work.
