Living Out Your Faith in the Real World

Putting Knowledge into Action​

Knowing is different than doing.
It's when we live out our faith that it truly becomes real. That's where it's tested and is either weakened or strengthened. It's where the rubber meets the road, so to speak.

"But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only..."  James 1:22

"No matter where we are in today's culture, from the classroom, to the workplace, from casual conversations to planned instruction, our faith is going to be challenged. How will we respond? This is important because it's not about winning a debate and it's not always even possible to respond directly to the source of the challenge. The first response to the challenge is how we process it and how we defend our beliefs to ourselves so that we are not misled. Then, when possible, we can respond to the source of the challenge."    -Vicki Schwahn, Presenter
"For me, the class was a summation of everything I had learned growing up. It taught me real-life application of the foundational principles I had learned from the Bible and it helped me understand the reasons why the memorization of the Bible verses and diving into the fundamental Christian beliefs in Luther's Catechism through Confirmation class was so important. (Putting on the armor of God, so to speak!)    -Casie, Wayside Class of 1997
"The biblical principles taught through High School Prep during my middle school years definitely helped form a strong foundation for my faith in college...High school prep equipped me with the basics of what to anticipate going into high school , as well as the biblical knowledge that I would need to navigate my teenage years, and truly take ownership of my faith and spiritual growth."    
-Bekah, Wayside Class of 2011
"The high school prep helped me the most by having all the moral compass questions posed to me and answered before I faced them in real life. Everything from having patience, how to be honest with others, staying humble, relationships, nonnegotiable items
of my life, ect."  ​-Nick, Wayside Class of 1997
". . . Hearing the personal stories from the instructors made it seem more like a discussion than a lecture of any sort. They truly wanted us to take something away from their mistakes, temptations, and lessons they learned through their own situations that they had to go through . . .We had to write a letter to our future selves in 8th grade and received it halfway through high school. It truly made me reevaluate if I was relying on worldly things or if I was striving to become the man God has in store for me. I am blessed to have been able to have that course during my time at Wayside."
