Marriage in the Kingdom Age - New CLU Course

Mark Virkler's picture

Whether you are single, engaged, a newlywed, or celebrating your 65th+ anniversary, this course offers insight into God’s purpose for marriage.  We are entering into a season known as the Kingdom Age where we are to pray down the Lord’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.  It is important to know God’s purpose for marriage and how to live within His covering as man and wife.  Another important concept is to understand more fully the meaning of God’s grace and its role in our marriage.   


Dr. Michelle Kirby, the developer of this course writes: As I developed this course, my own marriage was enhanced. My heart began to soften and see the beautiful vision God has for covenant marriage.  I began to see my spouse more with God’s eyes - and toned down my tongue.  My journey brought me to repentance for my judgmental attitude and closer to my dear husband who has always respected and celebrated me.  I love my husband more than ever and more clearly see God’s vision for us.  

It is my great honor to present Marriage in the Kingdom Age.  As having received great benefit in obtaining a degree with Christian Leadership University, I was elated when asked to prepare this course for CLU and CWG Ministries.  Marriage is so sacred and has been under attack since the Garden of Eden.    

After months of prayer and preparing, the Lord highlighted the work of Dr. Tony Evans as well as Dr. Tim Kimmel.  Dr. Evans clearly establishes covenant foundation for marriage as God established it as well as how the husband and wife are to walk it out.  Dr. Tim Kimmel gives great insight into understanding God’s grace for us as individuals and how to extend that in our marriage.

As a retired middle and high school teacher of twenty-eight years, my background included a passion for meaningful curriculum development.  My heart is also to offer the course in a way that extends the learner freedom to explore and meditate on the message for their lives.  It was an amazing journey to spend time with the Lord who created this work through me.  It changed and convicted me in my own marriage and has been such a great blessing.  I pray it will be a blessing to you.

This course is offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels through Christian Leadership University.  If you would prefer an enrichment version, Communion with God offers the content including a Personal Spiritual Trainer who will connect and counsel with you weekly.  I look forward to meeting enrollees and am praying for your marriages.

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way for my body to tell me exactly what it needs and desires, without having to take expensive or invasive tests? Wouldn't it be amazing if I could perform these tests as often as I wanted, right in my own home (or anywhere I wanted), with no costly instruments necessary?

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know?

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
