• God’s Word instructs us to “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.” (Matthew 6:33). This biblical principle emphasizes prioritizing spiritual growth and seeking God’s will above all else.
• Times of transition occur more often than we think- graduation from high school to is significant, but in todays world, we also find ourselves between careers, with family circumstances changing (hello, empty-nesters), or thinking about retirement.
• Dedicating at least a year to Bible college allows for grounding in faith and spiritual development. Programs like GLBC's Foundational Certificate provide focused Bible instruction, chapel services, and valuable tools in connecting to your local church.

2. Finding and Preparing for God’s Will:

• Many young people are uncertain about their life direction, and more mature may find themselves rethinking what they're being called to do.

• As students engage with God’s Word, they often discover direction. The Bible is described as a lamp that illuminates the path (Psalm 119:130).
• A year or more in Bible college can provide the light needed to discern God’s will. Like Abraham’s servant Eleazar, who said, “I being in the way, the LORD led me” (Genesis 24:27), students can find guidance.
