Around the year 95 AD John the Disciple was on the island of Patmos. One morning while he was worshiping the Lord he had an amazing experience. The veil that separates Heaven and Earth was rolled back and he was permitted to view past, present, and future events from God's perspective.

In a world that seems to reject everything we believe, how do we walk closely with God without caving to pressure or alienating those we hope to reach? In this class, we will examine the life of the prophet Daniel, who persevered in a corrupt culture that closely resembles our own—and emerged as an influential force in God’s redemptive plan. We will learn how to hold firmly to biblical beliefs without becoming obnoxious, insulting, or mad. Additionally, we will learn how to stand strong while still loving others. Because standing for truth isn’t about winning the argument; it’s about winning hearts. And when we learn the secret of connecting before correcting, we will discover that we can respond to today’s hard questions without compromising grace or truth.
