Hi, I just had to say something lol. Wow! That's an awesome turnout! I do hope you get some "staff" to help you out. Have you considered any friends, or other family members besides your children to help out? Or what about "recruiting" some of the students who might like to help out? I'm amazed that so many are so interested. That's very good especially in these tough times. I was wondering, how long is your course and if it costs
anything. I'm poor that's why I wondered too. I wish you continued success. Blessings[i]

Imagine 700 guests showing up for dinner...
A Nice Problem to Have...

Hello Elaine,
Exciting things are happening here at The School of Christ, and we wanted to give you a quick update.
Our online discipleship course, "Embrace The Cross", has really taken off! We currently have about 700 registered students, which is way more than we anticipated.
As you know, this course is highly interactive and designed so that we pay personal attention to each student. We're having a great time interacting with people from all over the world who are taking the course and learning how to follow Jesus in a practical way.
But we are officially "swamped" with students now, so we have decided to CLOSE the course to NEW students until we get caught up with our existing students.
So if you missed out on the course you can still register. We'll add you to the waiting list and notify you when openings are available.
Here's the link to find out more:

PLEASE NOTE: Our weekly webinar series on Matthew is on hold for a couple weeks until we can get caught up with our discipleship students.
One more thing...
Some people look at our website and think The School of Christ is this HUGE organization with lots of "staff people". We always chuckle when we get letters addressed to "Chip Brogden or staff." Ha! It's just us - Chip and Karla. There is no staff, unless you count getting some help from our two daughters every once in a while. Please understand we're trying to balance the demands of family, work, business, and ministry. With God's grace we'll get there.
So thank you for your patience, understanding, encouragement, and support! The best is still to come!

In Him,
Chip & Karla Brogden

P.S. By the way... we're almost out of "Irresistible Life" books. These books are now out-of-print and will be pulled from the website any moment.
