The Unbreakable Faith Course from Pilgrim’s Rock, LLC is an online course for adults and mature teenagers. The course requires two textbooks written by Craig Biehl – The Box and God the Reason. I received both textbooks and access to the online course for this review.
The Box is written as a dialog between Mr. Christian and Mr. Atheist. Through their conversation we see that the atheist assertion “God does not exist” is a claim concerning the ultimate nature of man, reality, knowledge, truth, authority, and ethics. The atheist denial of God’s existence is based upon their unreasonable faith in their own opinion. Even Scripture tells us in Psalm 53:1 – “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Through the ongoing conversation, Mr. Atheist becomes Mr. Agnostic because he has exchanged his profession of atheism for agnosticism. We learn that there are two types of agnosticism – one that asserts that the nature and existence of God cannot be known; and one that admits to a lack of evidence. We see that both arguments against God – atheism and agnosticism – rest on unreasonable faith in human opinion.
God the Reason provides a great study for those longing for a deeper understand of God’s Word. This book shows the emptiness of atheism while arguing God’s existence and his necessity for all reasoning, thinking, meaning, and living. It shares the attributes of God and how these attributes are essential for the fundamental issues of life. We need God for truth, knowledge, and direction in our lives.
After reading through the textbooks, I began the Unbreakable Faith course. This course explores how God’s perfections give life, joy, and assurance in a world of unbelief. It demonstrates how the attributes of God form the source and basis for all things in the universe. The course explores how reality, as we know it is impossible without God. It nurtures a comprehensive, logical, biblical worldview to strengthen our faith; and it helps believers turn arguments into opportunities to witness and share the love of Christ.
The Unbreakable Faith course is very easy to use. Simply login to your account on the website and click “Unbreakable Faith” and you will have access to the six parts of the course. Each part consists of videos, readings, and quizzes. The course is self-paced; but once the course is started, the student must complete the course within thirty-six weeks.
All videos are accessed and viewed online. Each video segment is about thirteen minutes long. Please note, students must watch the videos in order, the following video is not available to the student unless the previous video is marked complete. The online quiz is to be taken after completing the videos and reading assignments in each part of the course. Students have twenty-five minutes to attempt each quiz; and each quiz may only be taken once. The online final exam is taken after all videos, readings, and quizzes are complete. High school students can earn one credit upon completion of this course.
I have enjoyed reading through the textbooks; and I have worked through part two in the online course. The opening music to each video lesson is very relaxing and the hymns prepare you for the message. I have been encouraged to walk the talk. People need to see the real deal. I have learned that philosophy and apologetics are the results of theology. God is infinite. Man is finite. We know God by what he has revealed to us in creation and Scripture. God’s revelation is the standard of truth. Finite human understanding cannot be the standard of truth. Scriptures tells us in Isaiah 55:8-9 - “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” God is too great to be known unless he makes himself known.
