I didn't realize the connections the Bible has with mental health until taking classes at CBU. I was able to see how healing it could be to have reliance on faith in relation to psychology. If someone is considering enrolling into CBU's online program, I'd tell them that it can be one of the most influential periods in their life. Not only are you learning principles to build a foundation for your career, you are also building the foundation to grow closer to God. A lot of other colleges don't offer the same curriculum. Building a stronger relationship with God has given me the strength to get through college.
