Kingdom Living Course

---

"The Kingdom Living Course has really reignited my heart for God. Growing up in home where my parents started rediscovering their faith we went to a lot of different churches and at times no church at all. I was always inspired by my moms faith walk and how she always strived to grow her relationship with God more. In high school I heard about YWAM and really wanted to get involved but I constantly put it off. After the pandemic hit I came across an advertisement for YWAM and dove right in. I tried not to be discouraged when borders remained closed and that’s when I heard about this course. Kesia and Jess put together the perfect course to get involved in YWAM no matter where you’re at. It can be more challenging at times building your relationship with God in a setting where you’re not surrounded by others on the same path. But it’s all the more rewarding. If you feel called to join YWAM and build your relationship with God but don’t know where to start or where in the world to go, join this course! Pandemic or not this course has been the perfect way to learn how to incorporate God into my everyday life, to build my relationship with Him, and go deeper in my walk. I’m forever grateful for Kesia and Jess and that they felt called to reach people around the globe right where they’re at."

Elijah: The content has been dynamite! I have really enjoyed the majority of the teachers. Two ways God has spoken to me through this school have been to spend more time in His presence and acting in bold obedience. When God gives you a word - act on it!

Courtney:There have been so many wonderful teachings and I've learned so much, it is hard to sum it up but I'll do my best. I think the topic of overcoming discouragement was super powerful to me because I've been struggling with discouragement for a long time now. I feel that there are things God has called me to do but continually get put off, that there is more I should be doing in my life and so on. That week was very encouraging because I was reminded that when we are facing trials it just means God is using us and the devil doesn't like that. We are promised trials and persecution as followers of Christ and should view it as a blessing!The two ways I've found that help to encourage me are;1. Thanksgiving - when I recognize all that God has done for me I won't be tempted to blame my problems on him.2. Worship - to remember how big God is and how small my problems are.

"The Kingdom Living Course with YWAM Whitsunday has been such an incredible experience. I have learned so much and my faith has grown more than I ever expected. Being in community with my classmates and meeting weekly for small group has been a treasure. The content of the course is packed full of easily-digestible knowledge and information. I feel like my knowledge and understanding of the Bible has grown exponentially. Coming into the course, I thought I knew a decent amount about the people in the Bible and the Biblical principles, but now that I’m taking this class, I’ve learned a ton. I really like how the videos and content are self-paced each week and I can get it done on my own time. One last thing I’d like to mention is that before I started this course, I didn’t particularly enjoy reading the Bible. I found it hard to get into, hard to understand, and sometimes dull. Now that I have learned how to understand the Bible better, gotten to know the people in the Bible better, and how to read it in a way that works for me, I find myself enjoying it as one of my favourite books. Overall, this course and its instructors have been fantastic and I highly recommend it!"
