Rebekah Davis writes about a class at the Academy for G.O.D. called "Heroes of Faith."  The class considers people in history who, unlike super heroes of our day, are completely human, and therefore, can be examples to us all of the kind of character and faith any of us have the potential to exhibit.  

What if we all did our jobs wholeheartedly? Not only while someone is watching, but always, because the Lord is watching? So many days would go so much better. It would not only affect the attention we pay to the task, but the attitude by which we do it and the care we put into the person being served.

If you’re laid back like me or don’t feel like you are boiling over with charisma, know that being fervent in spirit is more than that. We are to serve the LORD with fervor, always on the look-out for doing what God wants from us based on his Word in a moment or situation, particularly in the very common ones that make up most of our life.    

The equation that bearing another’s burden equals doing what Jesus wants makes things very practical.  Sometimes we create an unnecessary disconnect between our spiritual lives and our everyday practice.  But what if our practicing spirituality meant practicing bearing the burden of another?

Rebekah Davis, C.A.S.E. tutor, reflects on the program's goals in light of another school year of the program. 

This week we are sending a special delegate team to India to serve the mothers! A team of midwives, doulas and educators will teach families and health professionals a very important subject matter that too few have access to.
