Teaching Children
To Think Critically & Defend Their Faith
Our curriculum is free for everyone, always!
×
Our mission is to develop Godly children who demonstrate through critical thought:
- what they believe
- why they believe it
- what distinguishes their beliefs from other systems
- how to withstand persecution and answer cultural shifts
- how to lovingly draw others into a relationship with Jesus
We are busily writing the curriculum for publication. In the meantime, check out a few samples here and on our curriculum pages.

| Currently Available Curricula | Defenders of Truth Bible Curriculum |
|---|---|
| Bible story based, or book by book study, or video with discussion | Based on overarching foundational concepts, with Bible accounts providing the evidence |
| Often structured as passive listening about ancient events that may lack relevance | Skill based (active learning) with real world applications that address societal cultural sway |
| Lesson delivery is largely INPUT only | Students demonstrate mastery (OUTPUT) of skills that require critical thinking and defense of Biblical truths |
| Cursory revisiting of prior learning | Strategically planned to continuously loop back to prior learning, moving to deeper applications each time |
| Limited supplementary scripture memorization that is left to parents; “learn and move on” | Bible memorization through in-class activities are continually revisited and linked to overarching concepts that are learned in sequence |
| All students learn exactly the same thing in the same way, regardless of skill levels or prior knowledge | Ability to differentiate the activities to meet the needs of all learners within the same overarching concept; excellent for keeping special needs’ students with their age peers |
| Packaged curriculum generally has no correlation among levels | Identical concepts for all age groups are studied to increasing depth within the 2-year curriculum, making it ideal for house churches, home schoolers or special needs students |
| Superficial parent information | Parents receive weekly guidance with ideas for reinforcing the concepts |
| Teachers and parents are unable to access child’s age appropriate knowledge and skills | Checklists provide guidance to teachers and parents of child’s mastery of curriculum |
| Curriculum can be expensive to purchase | Entire 2-year curriculum which includes lesson plans, videos, music and activities, is free for everyone, always! |
| Little or no teacher training or technical assistance; is expensive if available | Teacher training and technical assistance provided free of charge or for reimbursed travel expenses |
