If I enroll how much time do I need to reserve for ICIT lessons and audios each week?

The answer to this is very individualized. First, let us say that the Holy Spirit does a deep, life-changing work through the training material. That's why the lessons are paced over a three to six month period, depending upon enrollment plan. If students fall behind and cram, the transformation is not nearly as profound. So, be certain to count the cost before enrolling for 3-6-months of intense training by the Holy Spirit.

The lessons and audios each week are not real long. The chapters are only 8-10 pages and the training includes 1-2 audio messages with each session, running about 30 minutes each. The written material can take around 30 minutes to read through. However, students can find themselves drawn into prayer, worship, Bible study, devotional time, journaling and more. Of course many students find themselves going back over the material several times, even after graduation.

K

For the Group Study plan can we form a group with those from other areas/cities/regions?

The Group Study plan is for local groups in your area that would be able to physically meet weekly or bi-weekly to discuss the material.

Can facilitate a Level I group with some enrolling in the online course and others using the printed manuals?

No, we do not permit the different modes of study to mix. Only those enrolled in the online course are permitted to attend the weekly group meetings.

If a person is already a pastor or has a degree do they still have to start with on Level I?

Yes, Level I is foundational. We have most every walk of life enrolled in ICIT including many pastors, rabbis, Ph.D.s, homemakers and truck drivers, to name a few. One goal of Level I is to remove the trappings and misdirection of mere religion, and simplify the vision of attaining Christlikeness. The student will also be positioned and strengthened in Christlike, "unoffendable" intercession for their families, churches and communities.
