School of the Word Canada

Tomorrow the first class of School of the Word Canada begins the school year. I am so excited for the year ahead for my friends who are participating, remembering the wonderful year Ben and I had at School of the Word in Cardiff. Some advice people gave us was super valuable in making the year such a great experience. I think this is good advice for approaching just about anything in life:

• Open yourself wide and vulnerable to catch all the seed sown into your heart, so it can form deep roots and grow as it is meant to grow
• Ask lots of questions - not to be cynical but to learn
• Always be open to learning something new - if you think you've heard it all before, you won't be able to receive new revelation
• Honour your teachers
• Make your focus not on being philosophical or theological, but on knowing Jesus more and more
• You get out what you put in
