BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION – Pastor Scott and Nathan give a behind-the-scenes look at how they design teaching series, whether for a Sunday morning sermon or a mid-week Bible study. They explore how practical theology, lifestyle discipleship, and Spirit-led planning help shape every session. They unpack how intentional structure (with a lot of flexibility) keeps people engaged, spiritually growing, and relationally connected. It’s a fun and honest look at planning for transformation, not just attendance.
