Curriculum

Foundations

A biblical view for all of life

Small group curriculum to equip believers to live out the Lordship of Christ in all of life.

Video-based lessons

Biblical and cultural instruction from trusted voices, designed for small group discipleship.

Group discussions

Discussion guides foster reflection, conversation, and transformation together.

Practical application

Each lesson applies Scripture to real-world issues — family, work, politics, education, and more.

Trusted instructors

Teaching from Dr. Joe Boot, Pastor Nate Wright, and Dr. Michael Thiessen — leaders in Christian worldview and cultural apologetics.

Three sessions

Roughly half an hour each, taught to camera.

Session 129 min

Christ and the Cultural Crisis

Establishes Christ's supremacy over all creation and the cosmic scope of the gospel. Uses Colossians 1 to show that Christ holds all things together and is Lord over culture, law, politics and education — and that true Christian faith means recognising this Lordship and resisting compromise.

Session 230 min

The Gospel and Culture — Living Under Christ's Lordship

Explores how culture reflects what people worship, and how secular culture is shaped by humanism and autonomy. Introduces the biblical categories of structure and direction for reshaping culture toward Christ through families, churches, schools and societies.

Session 324 min

Transforming Culture Through Courage

Calls believers to bold cultural obedience through the examples of Moses, Daniel and Paul. Challenges the privatisation of Christianity and recovers Christ's authority over all nations.
