I thought that since I had been a christian my whole life, I didn't need to go to a christian school. Although I technically didn't need to, it has changed the way that I look at the world."

Being around other like minded people has really encouraged me to grow in my own faith. My friends and I are always working to keep each other accountable and encourage each other in our walks with God. This is something that I never would have had at a secular school."]]> 2016-03-02 23:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98641818 jsmith11687 https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98641891 "Being an international student who's first language isn't English, it was pretty scary at first. I didn't know much about God even though I had gone to a christian high school. Biola has taught me so much about Christianity, and now I feel like I'm closer to God and have a better relationship with him."]]> 2016-03-02 23:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98641891 jsmith11687 https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98643261 By: Jeffrey Smith]]> 2016-03-03 00:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98643261 jsmith11687 https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98666769 "Its been so cool to be able to study the bible from an academic standpoint. Growing up in the church, I listened to so many sermons but none of them really spoke to me. I've been able to learn more from taking bible classes here than everything I've heard from going to church and youth group. So many of the questions that I've had about God and the bible have been answered by my professors, friends, and classmates. I'm finally starting to feel like I can truly understand the bible and what God has planned for my life."]]> 2016-03-03 03:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98666769 jsmith11687 https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98668060 2016-03-03 03:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jsmith11687/bb1082vbq76m/wish/98668060
