One of the most critical decisions a church leader can make is choosing a curriculum that shapes the spiritual growth of their congregation. On today's episode Ken Braddy discuss why it’s essential to select a curriculum that is not only rooted in Scripture but also doctrinally sound and balanced in its approach to studying the Bible. Josh Paul Basham and Sean Beach explain how leaders can understand the value of a clear scope and sequence in a curriculum and share practical tips to ensure your curriculum aligns with your church’s vision and mission.
