Pathway Out Of Homelessness, Budwa (Bud) Sous
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This phenomenological case study aims to understand the homeless individuals' relational Transformational Experience (TE) and their choice to complete the transitional pathway journey from homelessness at a faith-based shelter.

As a result, this study's framework uses a hermeneutic and relational approach to explore and highlight relational barriers the homeless faced following their transition out of a Midwest homeless shelter. However, research has not adequately recognized how a restored relationship contributes to cognitive and behavioral …

Addressing Subjective Reasoning Through Renewed Pathways: Church Discipline, Anthony F. Williams
Addressing Subjective Reasoning Through Renewed Pathways: Church Discipline, Anthony F. Williams
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
