I find great value in the LST courses not only as enhancement of my personal knowledge, but also as a means to bring me closer to God, my family and my community. If I am successful in completing the requirements for my SAM certification, I will certainly continue to take LST STL courses (and others) not only for my continuing education requirements, but primarily for my personal growth, socialization with others, and enjoyment.

"I have enjoyed a variety of different LST classes by excellent teachers, and been enriched every time for my own faith and my ministry as a pastor."

“I really appreciated the breadth of Dr Niedner’s presentation and his basic premise of wilderness experience and its relationship to lament. Further, as he took us through scripture (particularly the Gospel of Mark), the insight that the cross (God’s presence in our suffering) is the fullest revelation of God that brings hope, comfort, solace to us, especially as the Risen Christ and the Body of Christ are made known to us in “flesh and blood.”

"I appreciated the definition of wilderness as a "place without words" instead of a geographical location, and the various experiences of wilderness in the Bible. The insights about parallel stories, the meaning behind "not seeing God's face", and so many other teaching examples were interesting, thought provoking, and helpful."
