CSFL 611 - Formation Through Struggle

Credit Hours: 4

This course challenges cultural assumptions surrounding success and failure, and explores how our setbacks and struggles can be vehicles for formation and growth. A framework is presented for how daily decisions and the trials of ordinary life factor into an overall model of spiritual maturity and contribute to character development. Attention is also given to practices that open us to the grace of healing and restoration, such as the circumstantial spiritual disciplines of lament and forgiveness.
