Internalizing Grace
“As a theology major, I took a tough class called ‘God and Human Suffering.’ For one assignment, I wrote a paper which was basically a defense of God’s character. In that paper, I wrestled with my faith, and ultimately, it came down to this thing called sin. I appreciated that class for helping me really internalize the concept of grace.” - Randy Ramos

I also have the opportunity to learn from amazing professors. I chose PUC’s Theology program because of the unique ministry experiences they provide, but most importantly the doors that God opened for my life and the lives of my fellow theology brothers and sisters.
