Read MoreThis course was absolutely life changing. UR 101 and 102 have really connected so many dots. As Heiser put it, most christians have a lot of data points but no framework. This 1st year has really helped me understand the Bible in its own context and letting it speak on its own terms. I couldn't be more grateful for Dr. Heiser's passion and love for the scriptures and his amazing gift of teaching that has truly given me the desire to pursue Biblical Studies and Theology fulltime.

Read MoreI have a goal. I want to get an advanced degree in biblical studies of some sort and teach college somewhere after I retire. Having known more than a few people that came out of bible college or seminary and seemed to have worse theology after graduation than before, I thought it would be a good use of my time to get the Biblical Studies cert from Awakening before I begin bible college. Over the last couple of weeks, I had been rethinking that decision - then I recalled a conversation I had over the summer. Let me tell you about it. I was at my sisters 40th anniversary celebration – she and her husband are both very committed Christians. One of my relatives was working on an advanced degree in some area of biblical studies. When that person approached me, I welcomed the conversation. After we discussed their master’s degree program for a bit, I began talking about standard Dr. Heiser stuff – the most overlooked passages are often the most important passages, etc. From there I began talking about the Dominion Mandate given in Genesis 1 – how it’s often read quickly and then forgotten about – but it actually tracks throughout the entire Bible, not just Genesis, and is completed in Revelation. I must have grown a second head based on the look I was given. This is the point. I have an Associates Degree in Electrical\Mechanical technology through the Air Force. I was talking Bible with someone who is far more educated than myself and in a Bible program to boot but I wasn’t the one having trouble keeping up with the conversation. The shoe was on the other foot. When I realized that, I quickly understood that my original decision was on the mark. Not only is the content biblically sound, Dr. Heiser also teaches how to “think rightly about the Bible.” In the military, we call it “critical thinking skills”. That’s probably the missing element in some of the other degree programs. At the end of the day, I’m getting an education far beyond what I realized. And so are you.
