Why Durable Faith
While knowledge isn’t faith, knowledge is a necessary part of faith. Romans 12:2 says “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Building a learning system that accomplishes this in a way that is biblical, effective, and flexible is no easy task.
Durable Faith is a curriculum being developed for individual and small group discipleship for ages 6th grade and up. Topics run from core Christian teachings to apologetics to world religions to culture and worldview. Still under development, the goal of this program is to provide a discipleship pathway from spiritual adolescence to mature, durable faith.
