FROM MASTER’S APPRENTICE STUDENTS
Learning that reaches into daily life.
Two live focus groups, with 30 students in each, worked through the courses during two years of development. Here, students share their experiences of understanding Scripture and putting their learning into practice.
I was not only learning from it, but I was walking it out in my daily life.
I got to dig deeper into the Bible, learned some really great ways to study, and a completely different perspective on things that maybe I had already read.

MA has given me a new perspective on reading and understanding the Bible. Plus MA led to personal growth through spiritual disciplines and more.

These accounts include earlier classroom and cohort experiences. Current live sessions with Iann are offered through the monthly Masterminds described above.
But I got more out of it because Pastor Ian took us through practical applications of things. And that was the biggest impact.
I just want to let everybody know that if you’re interested in learning more about the Bible times, cultural times of the word outside of just a pastoral message from the pulpit, this is very, a very good avenue to have that that teaching, but very appreciative. And I’ll do it again.
Richard RiveraMaster’s Apprentice student · excerpt
There are no words that fully capture it. You just have to step out, be obedient, and experience it yourself with faith.
It’s just you learn so much about the Old Testament and the New Testament. So I would say, go out on faith and just do it.
Linda ScrivnerMaster’s Apprentice student · excerpt
My relationship with Christ has grown, my relationships with my children and husband have grown, and I have made relationships with new friends in class.
