This course will examine both the Biblical mandate and the Biblical model for personal growth. The reality and subtle nature of sin will be analyzed and evaluated through a careful assessment of personal choice. Students will be challenged to appraise their lives through the lens of Scripture and to be prepared to communicate to others both the need and the method of confronting personal sin. Prerequisites: BSTH 251, COUN 112, ENGL 111, YTST 222. 3 hours.
