Online Lectures Spiritual Growth

Through four lectures, participants explored a deeper understanding of their faith and a closer relationship with God. They reflected on their spiritual journey, seeking answers on how to grow in faith and develop a Christ-like character in everyday life. On this journey, they were guided by Monika Bajić, M.Th.

When asked, “Which part of the course was most beneficial to you and why?” participants shared with us:

“I was particularly delighted that one participant experienced liberation from long-term grief due to our testimonies and encouragement. It was also a blessing to work together on the Visio Divina exercise. I noticed that God spoke to each participant through a different part of the verse written alongside the image (‘living water,’ ‘in his season,’ ‘planted’).”

“I received an answer from God (which I neither expected nor sought during this course) for the challenge I had been struggling with for a long time. The Lectio and Visio Divina exercises were extremely beneficial to me. But also, the interaction with brothers and sisters greatly enriched me and opened my spiritual eyes for further progress and growth in the Lord. All thanks and glory to God for everything.”

“What was most beneficial to me was the community and discussions on Zoom because I could hear the thoughts of other participants and the entire course, as both personal experience and group experience provide additional knowledge and perception. It’s good that the materials can be viewed/read at any time that suits us (due to various personal commitments).”

“I would highlight the practical part of the exercises and the conversation with all participants because I gained insight into different reflections, but I think what we practiced will remain permanently recorded in our minds.”
