  • Thank you ODBU for choosing this study as one of your courses - when I looked at it from the starting line it seemed incredibly daunting, and it was - I am grateful now to have endured and learned this material.

    — Beverly, United States
  • This has been another fascinating course. I am grateful it is available at so little cost, and yet is so detailed and challenging. I have enjoyed the activities as they force me to think carefully about what I learn in the video lectures. Thank you Dr Crabb and the team behind the Our Daily Bread University presentation.

  • Excellent.....this is the best example of life on life discipleship---a deep intentional soul caring where souls unite for the purpose of drawing nearer to God through the Spirit.

    — Darryl, United States
  • The SoulCare ideas and concepts presented in this course were both intriguing and inspiring. I have already recommended it to one person and am using some of the techniques to improve spiritual friendship. I am motivated by the ultimate goal to be spurred and spur others to a closer relationship with God. A big thank you to Dr. Crabb and ODBU!

    — Waynette, United States
  • Excellent material by Dr. Crabb. This teaching is so important for the Church today and I know no other source than Dr. Crabb.

    — Marc, United States
  • very good course

    — Jim, United States
  • I am sure I am repeating myself from the previous course comments but, I so enjoy hearing what the Heart of God has put on the heart of Larry. To some it might seem unorthodox, but I love his freshness and the risk he takes in "speaking outside of the box". His teaching and life-lived examples are so freeing and encouraging to me and many others. I am blessed to have "strumbled upon" OBDU. PTL.

  • I have been VERY personally blessed as a Christian taking the Soul Care course. My earnest hope and desire is to be used of God in exceptional ways to encourage the Bonds of Christ, Encourage Fellow-Believers in the Truth (God), the Word (Jesus) and the Spirit. Being used of God is PARAMOUNT to my life as a Christian. To Arouse and Encourage and Challenge other Christians in their walk for Christ and to have them "Each One - Reach One" as the Community of Saints Grow and Have an On-Fire Appetite FOR GOD AND TO LET THEIR LIGHT SHINE FOR THE LOST SO MANY MORE WILL BE SAVED! I GIVE ALL GLORY TO GOD FOR OUR DAILY BREAD UNIVERSITY AND THIS EXCEPTIONAL SOULCARE CLASS AND DR. CRABB AS THE TEACHER. I WILL BE FOREVER BLESSED AND HOPE TO FOREVER BE USED AS A BLESSING TO ALMIGHTY GOD THROUGH WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN IT. MY HOPE IS SOLIDIFIED, MY WAY ENLIGHTENED AND MY FAITH HAS GROWN LEAPS AND BOUNDS FROM THIS CLASS! GRATEFUL AND BLESSED, ANNIE CLARK

    — Anna, United States
  • A difficult and complex course for me.

    — Philip, United States
  • I thoroughly enjoyed this course and look forward to seeing how God will use this information to guide me in life and how to relate better to people, specifically those in my sphere of influence.

    — Bobbi, United States
  • Dr. Larry Crabb did a fantastic job in presenting and outlining the way of true Soulcare. His passion for Christ, the Bible, and others really shone through. I was also impressed in the format that was presented and how well Our Daily Bread University presented the course. Top-notch in every way.

    — Coleman, United States
  • Loved taking all four courses and I learned so much.

    — April, United States
  • A very helpful course and much to mediate on and put into practice.

    — Rebekah, United States
  • Overall, I found the material very helpful. Since I also discussed the material in a group setting, along with others in my church who were taking this course, I was able to grasp the material in a greater way. Sometimes, though, the discussion questions from Dr. Crabb were a bit confusing, and it would have been nice to only have to redo the questions on the quiz that I got wrong instead of having to take the whole quiz over.

    — Jackie, United States
  • Excellent.

    — Giovanni, Italy
  • It has been a personal journey. Dr. Crabb has given me reasons to listen and let the Spirit do the work with great anticipation in the potential of the other person to receives the grace.

    — Solus, United States
  • Once again, very enlightening and helpful. I am so very excited to understand the power and possibilities that are available to me because of the Spirit within me and others that will move in and between to draw us closer to Him. Thank you!!!

    — Dorothy, United States

    — Wendy, United States
  • This course is amazing; a rich resource to help Christians to live and enjoy deeper relationships in the church setting.

    — Gildas, United States
  • I am really enjoying and getting a better understanding of what it means to actually stir someone's soul toward wanting to know God through loving them the way God loves us, which is unconditionally.

    — Brenda, United States
  • Dr. Crabb does a great job of developing the course in a way that makes it easier to understand how it works. In all of his courses, this is the case. It is very thorough and comprehensive. I learned a lot about the greatness of God and His will for us. Also, the influence of Jesus and the new covenant.

    — Naomi, United States
  • I appreciated exploring the differences between Spiritual director vs spiritual friend. I really appreciated getting a glimpse into how Dr. Crabb meets with a group of believers to spur one another on. Excellent lectures thank you so much

    — Laura, United States
  • I loved the course and am so thankful for the opportunity to have taken it. Thank you, Dr. Crabb, for your insight and willingness to teach others! I pray my life will be a reflection of all you've taught here.

    — Sandy, United States
  • This course made me to think deeply about how I am living my life and how I should live it if I must make heaven. Before now I had a notion of heaven and life after death but this course has sharpened that. It has given me a new paradigme as per the entire question of the "hereafter". I bless God for this discovery.

    — Dadta, United States
  • Blessings Dr. Crabb, I am SO VERY Thankful for your depth of insight & understanding in desiring above all else to glorify God & His Faithfulness as we draw near to Him! I prayfully look forward to presenting SoulCare to our Church for it is SO DEEPLY needed! I look forward to continued studies @ Our Daily Bread University & Thank you again for this Wonderful Labor of Love for God & His people!!!

    — Sallie, United States
  • I gained more knowledge of SoulCare.

    — Virginia, United States
  • This section is just as informative as the others and this entire course is awesome. I have learned a lot and things said in this entire course have confirmed to me that I was actually in line with His Spirit as I have counseled with others in the past.

    — Regina, United States
  • This was an in-depth course and I learned a lot. Through the course, and I'm not yet finished but ... I felt God was searching my heart and caused me to see myself in a different perspective. It has brought more peace to my soul, and understanding more about God, myself and especially my wandering daughter. It has helped me to understand other people better. I have felt like I have gone through many weeks of SoulCare and have come to gain wisdom in how much God loves us. Everyone needs a spiritual friend and I'm glad God has blessed me with many. SoulCare involves more than I realized and I have learned what it truly means.

  • This course was my "small group" for the last year. It provided a place of growth, stimulation, learning, encouragement, hope. I greatly appreciated Dr. Crabb's teaching style and also the ability to download a written format as I learn best from reading. This course shines a light on what I believe has been missing within our churches and possibly a large reason for the lack of interest people have in committing to a physical church in this 21st century. I am so grateful for what has been deposited into my soul through this course.

    — Wynne, United States
  • I thank God for this course because it is a continuous reminder of the daily conversations that we engage in on a daily basis.

    — Adrienne, United States
  • Well this was good! But challenging...and enlightening. Thank you for stretching my brain to learn more.

    — Ingrid, United States
  • The course was very enlightening.

    — Kenneth, United States
  • Great information- thank you Dr Crabb!
