Christian Support Systems
From a Christian perspective, relationships hold a fundamental place not just in personal life but also in academic success and development. Christianity emphasizes the principles and values of love, community, fellowship, and support for one another. These principles and values can significantly enhance the academic journey.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25
