How a Mother and Daughter studied the Moore PTC course together

Published on: 13 Oct 2022
Author: Moore College

Moore College’s PTC course teaches theology to Christians worldwide. 

Moore Matters interviewed a mother (Mary) and her daughter (Joy), who live in the same retirement village, about their experience studying the Moore PTC together.

 

Moore Matters

How did you organise your study of the PTC?

Mary

We did our studies in the morning. We each had our laptops in different rooms, so we would go our separate ways, read the study on the topic we were doing, and then do the quizzes. We then would get together and go over what we had done, check how we had done in our quizzes, and talk about the ones we found difficult.

 

MM

What made you want to do the PTC together?

Mary

Originally I hadn’t thought of doing the PTC. After I quit trying to learn Spanish (to keep my brain active), our Christian doctor said, ‘why aren’t you doing a Bible course’? Good question! It was then I went online and signed up to do PTC. I enjoyed doing Introduction to the Bible, and got a good result in the exam. This encouraged me to continue, especially when Joy joined me in doing PTC.

Joy

I was doing an online course with U3A, and Mum and a friend were studying Spanish. After some weeks, Mum stopped doing Spanish and started doing PTC. Mum would share the things she was learning and was enjoying it so much that it challenged me to join her, so I abandoned U3A to study PTC. Mum waited until I had completed my first subject so we could continue learning together.

 

MM

What were some of the joys of studying the PTC?

Mary

I was learning and digging deeper into God’s Word. I wasn’t merely gaining head knowledge, but it was also life-changing.

Joy

For me, it was learning the bigger picture of how the Bible fits together as a whole and not just a collection of individual books.

 

MM

What were some of the challenges?

Mary

I found some of the topics very challenging. I struggled with Early Church History. But studying with Joy kept me plugging away and persevering.

Joy

It was challenging to keep on going when a subject was more difficult to understand. A couple of the more challenging subjects were Early Church History and Prayer Book, but at the same time, I found them interesting. Studying together with Mum was an encouragement to keep going!

 

MM

Why would you recommend studying the PTC with someone?

Mary

Learning together can be fun! It keeps you on track and encourages you to persevere when the going gets tough. You can share what you are learning. You can rejoice together when you successfully pass your exams.

Joy

Learning together encourages and supports each other to keep learning and challenge each other to improve. Mum and I would become very excited when we passed our exams!
