“The way of ruthless trust [in God] is not an abstraction but a concrete, visible, and formidable reality. It gives definition to our lives, reveals what is life-giving within us, shapes the decisions we make and the words we speak, prods our consciousness, nurtures our spirit, impacts our interaction with others, sustains our will-to-meaning in life, and gives flesh and bone to our way of being in the world.”

- Brennan Manning Ruthless Trust

It begins, and where it ends, no one can say.

"My brain hurts." - ESBS student

The first two weeks spent learning the inductive bible study method are over and with it comes the intensity, which will consume the next 9 months.  The Bible is our world. Period.  We eat, drink, breath, and dream Bible.  On average 50+ hours per week are spent on personal observation, interpretation, and application of the content of one book after another.  Just the student, Bible, Holy Spirit and a plethera of Bible dictionaries and encyclopedias. In addition, 8 hours per week are spent receiving insight from the gifted staff through lecture.  All in all, our lives our dedicated to the pursuit of godly wisdom; we are so blessed.
