About This Course

The Good News Bible rendering of Ecclesiastes 10:10 states: "If your ax is dull and you don't sharpen it, you have to work harder to use it." So, the work becomes easier with a well-sharpened axe. There are several skills we need to do well in everyday life and ministry. These skills are like the axe.

"We develop and sharpen these skills through continuous learning and practice. These skills will make us and those working with us more efficient and productive in the things we do."

This course touches on several important skills needed for life and ministry, including personal development, planning, communication, and management. It is a light-hearted, fun, and practical course, with learning that will stay with us for life.
