More About the Science of Sainthood
Founded by Catholic evangelist Matthew Leonard, the Science of Sainthood is a series of systematic, beautiful video courses, Scripture, saint reflections, and meditations that lay out - step by step - the path to sainthood.
It's everything you need to know and instruction on how to do it.
We know it's hard to grow spiritually, much less find a good spiritual director.
That's why the Science of Sainthood was created. It's an online membership site and individual courses designed to guide Catholics into what Christ himself says is the "one thing necessary" (Luke 10).
More than education, this is transformation!
And don't just take our word for it...
Thousands Have Experienced the Science of Sainthood:
"So powerful!"
"Seriously! Why weren't we taught this before?"
"I am bowled over..."
"Compelling...You will be changed forever."
"One of the best decisions I ever made..."
"Game-changer..."
"Typical online studies are usually just a review of what we already know. But this is so different..."
What's It All About?
Fantastic Scripture Courses!
Featuring two-time winner of "Best Teacher" at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Dr. John Bergsma, Next Level Catholic Academy offers video courses titled Bible Basics for Catholics, as well as Introduction to the Psalms.
Dr. Bergsma is one of the best there is at explaining the depth and beauty of Scripture for regular Catholics.
(Did we mention his hilariously famous stick figure drawings?)
This is Scripture explained as never before.
"So enriching, precise and interesting!"
"Easy to understand..."
The Nature of Love Course
We're in the midst of rolling out a brand new course all about love!
In 1 Corinthians 13 St. Paul writes, "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal....So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
The obvious question becomes "What exactly is love?".
One of the most venerable and beloved professors at Franciscan University, Dr. Michael Healy, is about to show you!
"I never dreamed I would be so fortunate to receive lessons like this..."
