The rigors of a degree program aren’t for everyone. If you’re looking for second-to-none instruction taught by the best grace voices around, learning at your own pace, all from the comfort of your own home, now is your time! #globalgracesem
Congratulations to Dr. Josh Sousa on the successful defense of his dissertation, From Doing to Becoming: A Journey into Christlike Formation, a version of which will be coming to a bookstore near you soon!
Imagine for a moment the extent to which you would be prepared to forgive your children. Are there any lengths to which you would not go to see them made whole? What could they do that would justify casting them out from your love?

Having no natural children of my own I am forced to use my nieces and nephews as my closest context for this. There is NOTHING for which I would not forgive them. And, recognizing that in Greek the forgiveness of sin means to cast away or remove from someone that which wounds them and others, there is no action on their part needed to prompt me to intervene. 

Would it be nice if forgiveness were freely sought? Sure. 

Will I delay my intervention until such time as that occurs? NO. 

God cannot be less merciful than we are. And if indeed he is, then he is not worthy of our worship.

“There are very few questions upon which it really matters if we are right or wrong. What matters much more, almost all the time, is to be able to enter into meaningful and serious dialogue with those who disagree with us. Being in the world in a new way means caring about communication, becoming sen-sitive, open and concerned enough both to speak and listen in healing ways. I am not talking about clever gimmicks or agreeing with everything everybody says. I am rather affirming that what really counts in most conversations is not what is said, but it is the engagement of two parties, both of whom are struggling for their identity. What matters is that I speak enough to share myself, that 1 listen enough to receive the other person in his fullness, that we commune enough that both of us can be changed.

“I think this has great bearing upon the Church, torn as it is by all kinds of diabolic controversy. I think the issues are important and I think some things are not negotiable, and so do you, and sometimes we may not agree on what they are. But surely the Church is torn over the conservative/liberal, secular/ spiritual splits not because we are pressing toward the truth, but because the persons engaged in the dialogue have an inordinate need to be right, even if it means to destroy persons of other opinions.

“And the same applies to our feeling of the great social issues of the day. We dont really understand the persons on the other side of the ideological fence.

“But the Gospel is not the formulation of an ideology, whether theological, economical, or political. It is rather a power that gets behind all our ideolo-gies. It is a mood which exposes all our need for agreement and all our drive toward victories.

“Society needs persons and communities that can be there in a new way.

“Men of great faith are the ones who can bring it off.”

And what—or who—does He sustain?  ALL THINGS!

“Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and HE SUSTAINS ALL THINGS by his powerful word.”

Below are a list of the 10 Core Courses:​

Foundation of Grace

Understanding the Foundation of Grace in Scripture will give you a much clearer picture of sovereignty of God. From the early church fathers to those on the cutting edge of Radical Grace today, you will find a long line of men who have upheld the grace foundation of God’s word. In this course we will explore a survey of scriptures to show that the Bible in its entirety teaches the doctrinal Foundation of Grace.

Nature of God

The true nature of God is demonstrated in His grace, as seen in His love for all humanity. While all men deserve wrath, God moved heaven and earth to save man, the pinnacle of His creation. This He did, because the essence of God is love. In this course, you will learn about the true nature of God demonstrated by love and grace toward all mankind from the foundation of the world.

Identity & Inheritance

The Identity that God established for you before time began is the key that empowers you and is the single most important factor in a life of authority and power as a believer. In this course you will learn your Identity in Christ and you will come to a complete understanding that we live in Him, and He in us. This Identity gives the same power and authority to walk in heavenly realms as He does. We are then able to declare the kingdom of God on earth with signs and wonders following.

Law & Grace

God’s desire for us is that we should prosper and succeed in every area of life. Grace moves us toward this success. God does not want us to become stunted in our growth because we have allowed legalism to cut off our taproot into grace. In this course we will discover how Grace empowers you to become all that God designed you to be, apart from the Law or expectations of others. You will learn how Grace, apart from the Law, gives all men security and stability to grow and change.

Finished Work of the Cross

Paul’s letter to the Romans may be the most influential book in the history of Christianity. It was the Book of Romans that started the Reformation of the 16th great spiritual awakening since then. In this course you will learn all that Jesus accomplished for the human race when He declared “It is finished.” Romans will lay the foundation and bring the revelation that will equip you to release your world with the message of Radical Grace.

Salvation

Through grace and the finished work of Christ, God secured for mankind absolute peace, yet most of us waver in our understanding of that peace. At its core, this security is rooted in our union with God in Christ. In this course you will learn all that grace has freely given to mankind through Salvation. Salvation is a full package of benefits that includes forgiveness of sins, healing, deliverance, and prosperity. This course will expand upon “It is finished” and the full relationship to God it provides.

Gospel of Paul

Paul is the only writer in the New Testament who calls the gospel “My Gospel” (Romans 2:16, Romans 16:25, & II Timothy 2:8). Paul’s message differs from all the other writers in the New Testament. In this course we will explore what makes Paul’s revelation distinctive from all others. You will study Paul’s teaching on no sin, no condemnation, no delay, no distance, life and immortality. Learn the unique features of Paul’s post resurrection revelations found in no other gospel.

New Creation Living

Throughout the Bible we discover literal or figurative expressions that constitute the human condition. Words like heart and mind seem to be used interchangeably with spirit and soul. Yet Paul makes a clear distinction of God’s desire for our wholeness, Spirit, Soul & Body (I Thessalonians 5:23). In this course we will explore the differences between Spirit, Soul, and Body. We will also learn how to separate the spirit from the soul for clarification and then unite them for cooperation. This course will teach you how to bring Spirit, Soul, and Body together to function as the three part man that God intended.

The Grace Culture and Community

Radical grace is not a new doctrine or truth that is just impacting our world today. In this course you will learn the roots of radical grace as taught by early church fathers. The Reformers themselves were convinced that pure grace was not only biblical but historical. Both the apostles and early church fathers walked in agreement that the heart of the gospel is Radical Grace.

Covenants from a Trinitarian Perspective

In this course, students will receive dual instruction to include an in-depth analysis of Covenantal Theology through the lens of Trinitarian Inclusion, as well as an overview of Trinitarian Theology itself.
