Basic Needs Fulfillment And Course Completion Rates For Online University Students With Disabilities: A Quantitative, Non-Experimental, Causal-Comparative Study, Ashleigh M. King
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this quantitative, nonexperimental causal-comparative study is to determine if there is a difference in the percentage of courses completed between online university students with disabilities who are experiencing food and/or housing insecurity and those who are not. Students with disabilities at universities are less likely to complete courses than peers without disabilities, and while this discrepancy is often blamed on disability, other factors that impact student performance must be examined to determine if intersecting factors that disproportionately impact people with disabilities, specifically food and housing insecurity, may be contributing to decreased percentages of course completion. The theory …

The Effectiveness Of Integrating Religious/Spirituality Beliefs Into Psychotherapy: An Integrative Review, Justina Anighoro-Okezie
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This comprehensive review explores how integrating religious beliefs into psychotherapy impacts mental health outcomes. Following a structured approach guided by Whittemore and Knafl's (Nov 2005) methodology, the review involves a systematic literature search across academic databases, identifying 25 studies with diverse methods. Results indicate significant enhancements in both psychological and spiritual outcomes when religious beliefs are integrated into psychotherapy, compared to no-treatment control conditions. Compared to alternate treatments, adapted psychotherapy demonstrates a small to medium effect. Particularly in an additive design, while there's no significant superiority in psychological outcomes, there is in spiritual outcomes, emphasizing the potential benefits of incorporating …

A Phenomenological Study Exploring Pastors' Experiences Counseling Younger Congregants With Changing Lifestyles, Terry L. Skepple
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Societal norms are changing, and more young adults are cohabitating with partners before marriage, engaging in premarital intercourse, and embarking on second marriages. All these activities are contrary to historical interpretations of pastoral teachings. The problem is that pastors are challenged in adapting to provide family and marriage counseling for younger congregants. With societal changes occurring rapidly, the majority of the young generation feels that there is less relevance in pastoral teachings. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe Covenant Connections International’s mature pastors’ experiences counseling younger congregants in the Northeastern United States.

God’S Narrative Of Redemption: Creation, Imago Dei, And Water Imagery, Dawn Lewis Sutherland
God’S Narrative Of Redemption: Creation, Imago Dei, And Water Imagery, Dawn Lewis Sutherland
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This research demonstrates that the reclamation of imago Dei identity is the ultimate and terminal end-state of God’s plan for humanity’s redemption; this plan is universally expressed to humanity through water imagery in the Old Testament (OT) and in Ancient Near East (ANE) context. The Creator unveils supernatural intent through natural processes and contends that the restoration of imago Dei identity represents the conclusive fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan for humanity. In pursuit of this argument, the research critically explores creational identity, the contrasting biblical notion of idolatry, and the cross-cultural significance of water imagery within the contexts of the …

Great Leader, Great Learner: Shepherd-Teachers, Self-Directed Learning, And The Preaching Moment In Small Southern Baptist Churches, Matthew Thomas Gowin
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to explore the influence of the shepherd–teacher’s learning attributes, informed by adult learning theory, on the preaching moment within a conservative Southern Baptist congregation. Malcolm S. Knowles offered the theory guiding this study in his concepts of andragogy and self-directed learning. Knowles introduced an educational model that emphasizes adult learning and primarily self-directed learning. The study observed whether being a self-directed learner impacts the shepherd–teacher’s instructional activities, including preparation and delivery. The study addressed an identified gap between adult learning theory and homiletics. The multiple-case study started by surveying pastors with the …

Deaf-Centric Expression Of Biblical Language, Symbols, And Culture, Grace Tang
Deaf-Centric Expression Of Biblical Language, Symbols, And Culture, Grace Tang
Liberty University Research Week
Throughout history, many well-meaning hearing individuals have felt a call to bring the gospel to the Deaf community. However, this intention has often been carried out through poorly interpreted services with underqualified interpreters that do not understand Deaf culture and perspectives on theology. Christianity contains complicated language and concepts that many individuals struggle to express in American Sign Language (ASL) in ways that resonate with the Deaf community. Accessibility for the Deaf extends far beyond the translation of words into signs, requiring recontextualization to fit a Deaf lens and adaptation of communication methods to match the oral tradition and Deaf …

Generational Experiences Of Career Progression Barriers And Self-Efficacy In Black Professionals: Goals, Expectations, And Failures, Daphney Revolus
Liberty University Research Week
Career progression is a challenging process that requires time and effort. Today, the so-called corporate ladder has become much harder to climb. Professionals are now looking for opportunities for fast career growth; the desire for a ‘job for life’ no longer exists. Black professionals remain significantly underrepresented in mid- to senior-level management positions, despite the ever-increasing diversity rate in the United States over recent years. Generation X (born 1965-1980) and Millennials (born 1981-1996) are more motivated by progression in one’s career, while Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) are more motivated by power in the workplace, and Gen Z (born 1997-2012) are …

Crushed In A Crowd: Crisis Communication In Concert Tragedies, Rebecca Kicinski
Liberty University Research Week
Concerts are one of the most exciting events that can happen in a fan’s life. However, a concert can change from a thrilling experience to a terrifying nightmare in an instant. In the music industry, concert crises are more common than expected. Many of these crises result from poor event management or unruly crowds. Crowd surges, in particular, have resulted in thousands of injuries and dozens of deaths at concerts throughout the years. Each concert crisis resulted in a process of crisis communication from the artist and their management. A close analysis and comparison of two concert crises, Travis Scott …

Can Time Really Heal: The Long-Term Impacts Of Joint Custody Arrangements, Savannah Mccullough
Can Time Really Heal: The Long-Term Impacts Of Joint Custody Arrangements, Savannah Mccullough
Liberty University Research Week
Due to a growing diversity of family structures, children grow up in a variety of living arrangements, especially if their parents are separated or divorced. The most common solution for these divorced families is joint custody or dual-residence arrangements, where children spend up to 50% of their time in each parent's household. The current literature on the effects of joint custody arrangements shows mixed results, for children's overall adjustment and well-being seem to depend more on moderating factors like the child's age, exposure to interparental conflict, and parent-child relationship quality. This thesis reviews the existing literature on the advantages and …
The Practice Of Silence And Solitude And Its Results, Lizzie Suwala
The Practice Of Silence And Solitude And Its Results, Lizzie Suwala
Senior Honors Theses
Silence and solitude as a spiritual discipline is seen across many different worldviews including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Humanism, and can be exercised alongside disciplines like prayer, meditation, and mindfulness. Each worldview has a unique purpose in why silence and solitude is practiced such as to commune with God, to prepare one’s heart for times of prayer, to avoid suffering, to experience revelations, and to find peace in an anxious world. Loneliness stems from unmet expectations of social interactions that lead to aversion in one’s current relationships and within themselves. Understanding the purpose of silence and solitude leads to the …

Navigating The Pandemic: Hospital Resource Allocation And Preparedness During The Next Covid-19, Anna Ponder
Navigating The Pandemic: Hospital Resource Allocation And Preparedness During The Next Covid-19, Anna Ponder
Liberty University Research Week
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the infective and unreasonable standards of US hospital policy, funding, and staffing. During the initial wave of COVID-19 cases in 2020, medical supplies and standard medication prices increased, meanwhile hospital and governmental funding was allocated toward extra staffing and increased patient care spaces, leading to massive lapses in available resources for sick patients. Post-COVID-19, hospital staffing is down, and burnout rates are increasing. Furthermore, preexisting health disparities were heightened during COVID-19 and left those of minority races or lower socioeconomic classes at higher risk of complications and death from the disease. In total, the ineffective …
