"The Interior Castle taught by Deacon Dan started a change in my prayer life, the 7 Schools of Spirituality  opened my eyes to a whole new world of spirituality.  Let the journey continue"

"I learned more about my heart and where/how I encounter Jesus , and where I need to grow.  This was awesome, I look forward to it each week.

"Better understand  the context of the Bible and how the different characters and events are relevant to my own life.   It has also increased my desire to read the Bible more regularly and go beyond by reading commentary and going to secondary sources. "

"It has given me courage, compassion, patience and peace to grow my faith and share it"

"Attending Discpipleship U has helped me "come out" of some major depression and desolation.  I was beginning to deny God and the Faith due to an unanswered prayer and although this class has not fixed everything completely, it has paved the way to rebuild my relationship with God"
