This foundational module establishes the twin scriptural pillars upon which the entire course rests: the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) and the principle that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). Participants will engage in a detailed exegetical study of Genesis 1:26-31, the dominion mandate, and will be introduced to the Four Pillars framework that structures the remainder of the course.
Module Learning Objectives
By the end of this module, participants will be able to:
1. Exegete Genesis 1:26-31 with attention to the Hebrew terms tselem (image) and demut (likeness) and their theological significance.
2. Explain the five imperatives of the dominion mandate and their contemporary relevance.
3. Articulate the practical meaning of possessing the mind of Christ.
4. Connect Proverbs 23:7 to the trajectory of personal and communal destiny.
5. Identify the four pillars of practical dominion (mind, finances, relationships, work) and explain their interconnection
DOMINION OVER THE MIND — Renewed by the Word of God

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the Greek concept of metamorphoo (Romans 12:2) and its implications for mental transformation.

DOMINION OVER WORK AND THE CONVERGENCE; Excellence, Integrity, Productivity, and Integrated Dominion Living
This culminating module addresses the fourth pillar (dominion over work) and then brings all four pillars together in the Convergence: the integrated, practical, daily exercise of the dominion mandate across every sphere of life. The module concludes with the Declaration of Dominion and the commissioning of participants to walk in what they have learned.
Module Learning Objectives
By the end of this module, participants will be able to:
1. Articulate the biblical theology of work as mandate (pre-Fall) rather than curse (post-Fall).
