hear what people who have taken "Fuel for Faith" have to say about the class:

People just like you have taken "Fuel for Faith: An Important Class about Christian Theology" and have benefited from it.  Take a few minutes and hear what they've got to say:

• “I didn't know a lot about theology and wanted to learn more. My expectations were exceeded because I learned a lot, feel like I can learn more on my own and I felt like it wasn’t an ivory tower class.”

• “My faith has always been based on me just knowing that the Bible and Jesus were true. This class really showed me why it was truth. I learned a lot and can’t wait to learn more.”

• “Excellent. The best course taken here at Brookside.”

• “It was very informative and fueled a desire to learn more about God’s word and clarify ideas, and gives a great resource and direction for further study.”

• “It brings the ‘world of theology’ to a level that is easy to participate in without being overly complex.”

• “[I chose this class because I am] a new believer, [and was] looking for new and engaging ways to learn about God, the Bible, and help grow my faith. My expectations were met, as I felt I learned more about God, the Bible, as well as ways to continue learning outside this class.”

• “I feel that this class did an excellent job of literally “fueling my faith,” in wanting to learn more. I think that as we go through life we need to have different ways in which to do that, and this class is one of those ways.”

• “Being new to Christianity, I never really felt ‘lost’ while being in class. I felt that both teachers did an excellent job of explaining things and ideas in ways that were easy to understand.”

• “The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and well-prepared.”

• “Just thought it was awesome to have our entire Community Group attend. It encouraged excellent topics for discussion in our meetings together. Thanks for the dedication of Tim and James to studying and applying God’s word in their lives and sharing with us!”

• “The topics covered [were the greatest strength]. Thanks! This has been an amazing experience! Two outstanding teachers with passion and knowledge! Thanks again!”

• “[This is a] good start for theology. Hard enough to challenge, but not so difficult that you want to give up."

• “This class has a lot of knowledge to share for those who are searching for a deeper meaning of their faith.”

• “[The class] was valuable for me as someone who was brought up in church as a child, but then strayed from Christ afterward. In the last two years, I have come back to Christ and this class has helped me learn more than I ever learned as a child.”

• “Good for people new to the faith for obvious reasons. But [it is] also good review for those ‘older’ Christians. [There are] things to learn for all."

• “I have an opportunity in my job to speak to people in vulnerable physical health positions. This class gave me tangible, concrete, and positive ways to present the gospel to people who are searching for meaning to life and asking about what happens after death.”

• “Between this class, getting more involved in reading God’s word, and our community group now doing a study in prayer, I see us drawing much closer to God and actually feeling the joy that accompanies that deeper relationship. Thank you for putting this class on and giving us the tools we need to grow closer to our Lord.”

• “[This class provided a] great foundation and provides for discussion with others regarding God’s kingdom and Christ.”

• “This class has allowed me to grow in ways that I cannot describe. I feel my love for study and prayer will intensify  in coming months. Sometimes if not always this is not possible without the Lord and our church reaching out to deliver these classes. It is important as we develop as Christians and grow.”

• “I chose this class to learn more in depth what my faith is built on, to understand better, and to think (more) rightly. My expectations were met and exceeded!”

• “You cannot attend [a session] and not leave without learning something. It is full of great information and truths! Thanks!”

• “I have expanded my knowledge and understanding of what I believe and about God. I have opened up conversations with a couple of my good Christian friends about theology and they have been some of the best conversations we have had. It is iron sharpening iron in my mind. I have developed a desire and drive to learn and understand more. This course has really ‘fueled my faith’!”

• “The textbook [by Wayne Grudem] was excellent. It spelled things out and was not difficult to read.”

• “I thought [the teachers] did a great job about making controversial topics approachable even if they had different viewpoints.”
