Content Perspective

This process and community is intended to be an environment of encouragement and support. That said, the content in this course will be presented from a Christian worldview including some key beliefs below that may or may not align to your beliefs. You can still participate in the course if you don't agree with these beliefs, but just know this is the angle Tim Morris, the founder of Design Discovery, takes on the following topics and consider if that works for you. Any fighting, accusations, or name-calling is prohibited in our groups over disagreements with any beliefs in the group. We seek to raise the bar to be compassionate, empathetic, patient, and kind with people who have different perspectives and we fully acknowledge that some of these beliefs are sensitive topics for some.

• The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are historical events.
• Belief in the saving work of Jesus is the only way to an eternal relationship with God.
• The Bible is God's authoritative testimony to humanity and was and is still inspired by God through its human authors.
• The Holy Spirit is active today, performs miracles in and through people and often speaks to us in the form of impressions, thoughts in our own mind, desires through the redeemed heart, imagery in our mind's eye, through the wisdom of people around us, or through the Christian Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament.
• Women can be in any position of leadership in the Church, including all of the APEST (apostle,prophet,evangelist,shepherd,teacher) gifts as named in Ephesians 4:11.
• The original design of human sexuality was and still is that males and females are physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally designed to complement each other, and marriage is intended for one woman to one man.
