This is the second of a two-part series introducing the Heroic Life Discipleship Curriculum. Read part one HERE. Last week we talked about the perspectives and mindsets behind the Heroic Life Discipleship curriculum and gave a high-level overview of its content. Today we’ll look in more detail at the specific parts of the curriculum and at hey way they work together to accomplish our goals for an effective discipleship resource.
“I just wish there were a curriculum out there that really communicated the power of the gospel to kids.” There are many times I’ve heard statements like this—from mothers, from children’s program leaders, from school teachers; there is a desire for discipleship tools that go deeper than the status quo of entertainment-focused VBS or weekly kids’ programs. If you’re reading this post, chances are you can identify with these thoughts.
We believe that it is absolutely essential for children to hear and understand the gospel as they grow up. Why wait for them to grow older before beginning solid discipleship that results in knowing and following Jesus? When we look at Scripture, we don’t see a different version of Christianity for children. However, we do see a simple and clear gospel that a child can understand and live out.
