Barabbas Road Church in San Diego offers Barabbas University.

One of the more difficult challenges a Christian faces is interacting with the world outside of the church. It’s easy to make decisions and think and walk like Christ at church, but what framework is a Christian to use once church is over? Once we leave church on Sunday it is so much easier to be like the world, acting and making decisions like the world would. This is a challenge that we find uniquely in our culture that is hurting Christians as we strive to walk and grow as disciples of Christ.

The challenge is, “how do we think like a Christian Monday through Saturday?” The Bible tells us that we are supposed to take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). One of the goals in any church is to help its people think in a Christian way, not just on Sunday. Barabbas Road Church in San Diego has responded to this by establishing a thing called Barabbas University. Barabbas University is a classroom learning experience spread out through the week. The focus is to teach believers how to formulate and think like a Christian.

Barabbas University offers three classes. The first class is called Foundations. The Foundations class is a class that lasts about a year and is a class that is intended to help a believer to begin to think like a Christian. The second class that is offered at Barabbas University is a Theology class. This is a class that is also about thinking like a Christian, but adds an extra layer by examining doctrines. This class takes the next step by looking at different doctrines that can be controversial and require you to think about the ramifications of our faith. The third class at Barabbas University is called Apologetics. The Apologetics class is a class that teaches a believer how to think like a Christian in the midst of other people who do not think like Christians. The Apologetics class can also be called an evangelistic training class because many elements of the class can be found in a typical evangelist class.

All the classes offered at Barabbas University are free of charge and you can come at any point. You do not have to sign up for these classes; you can simply show upon your own. However, it would be a great benefit for you to try to attend as many classes as possible, for the value is that you will begin to formulate your faith in a systematic way, which will equip you to think in a Christian manner. This is ultimately what brings glory to God. There may not be any singing going on in these classes, but this is still worship. Therefore, these classes are formal and fun, but the focus is to know God better and to think about him tangibly as we live our lives as Christians.

Barabbas Road Church in San Diego offers Barabbas University because Christians need something like this. By attending, you will have the opportunity to have Christian fellowship that will open the door to meet and talk in a winsome manner about the things you are struggling with and how it relates to the truths of scripture.
