Steph’s journey to Grace unfolded during a pivotal season of her life. Having recently left her corporate job, she felt a divine calling toward training and developing people. Unsure of the specific path, she explored various secular training agencies and started a podcast on personal development rooted in biblical principles. For Steph, it was during this season that God has been teaching her to relinquish control as He guides her steps and sheds light on each new direction.

Unexpectedly, Steph came across Grace while applying for a position at Grace Asia, an organization in the Philippines supporting the seminary. Despite not aligning with her initial desires, working at Grace Asia became a divine blessing. As a staff member, she had the privilege of being a student, exposing herself to diverse materials, professors, and like-minded individuals across the globe.

Choosing Grace over other local seminaries proved to be a wise decision. Steph opted for the MM program, which perfectly aligned with her passion for practical, personal development rooted in biblical principles. According to Steph, her educational journey unfolded at God’s perfect timing, providing what she and her ministry needed beforehand.

Considering the pros and cons, Steph acknowledged that the accessibility, affordability, and accreditation of Grace stood out. The online format proved beneficial, and the SDGs addressed her initial concerns about in-person interaction. Moreover, Steph valued international exposure to renowned instructors who provided insights into contemporary issues, making her education world-class.

Life threw challenges at Steph during her final fall semester, where heavy coursework coincided with a required surgery. The compressed schedule forced her to contemplate dropping a crucial class, but with the guidance of her Student Academic Adviser, she persevered, excelling in both academics and practical ministry.

The impact of Grace on Steph’s life is immeasurable. She utilized every lesson, interaction, and note during her studies to develop teaching materials for her disciples and life group leaders. For Steph, the relevance and richness of Grace’s education continue to shape her ministry.

Steph wholeheartedly recommends Grace to those aspiring to pursue theological education. The institution’s attainability, accreditation, and adaptability to individual schedules make it a unique and fulfilling experience.
