erotao

Erotao is a Greek word which means “to question”.  Back in Jesus’ day, when young Jewish students would study in synagogue; training was done through asking questions. The belief of the day was to let the person asking the initial question be able to come up with there own answer instead of just being told the answer, thus drawing their own conclusion and reaffirming their own belief.

Through this study, students will select various questions that they have about God, faith, and modern day Christianity.  They are challenged to refrain from giving pat, cliche answers; but instead find scripture to back up the points that they are wanting to make.  This course is an intense time of studying and discovery.  Here is what some of this years Interns are saying about how the series has impacted their life:

“I feel like this series has made me think more in depth about things in my life.  It’s helped me solidify what I believe; becuase now I know why I believe it. I feel stronger in my beliefs because we have gotten to talk things out.” - Lauren T

“It’s really cool to be able to discuss things with a group of people and to not be afraid to ask different questions.” - Gabby V

“I feel more confident in myself.  I feel good about asking questions as before I felt repressed. It really reaffirmed my beliefs.” - David S

“It really made me feel inspired to reach out and to make a difference now.” - Callie H
