316: We're Building a Small Group Course

But most of us, we have sat through a seminar, and a great weekend seminar.

We've enjoyed that seminar, and then you give it a couple days, a couple weeks, and kind of like the fade happens.

It's kinda like remember when you were a kid at camp and you had that camp high, and then all of a sudden things fade? Well, what if the next event traveled to you and you were able to interact together with your people, and not just over a weekend but over an extended period of time? That's what we're gonna be talking about in this episode.

A- as we talked about, we have Life Institute, our live three-day in-person seminars in churches all across the country, is, is limited, right? There, it's only so scalable.

We can't do it everywhere, but there's so many more-

Yeah, I al- I almost lost my job last week.

[laughs]

[laughs]

It's gonna be fun.

You know, last episode, Tim, I was getting ready to call my lawyer.

[laughs]

But Tim, thank you.

You kept me around for another week.

So, uh, we are dealing with the, the, the fact that it's not scalable, and there are way more people who need help in the area of stewardship than we are presently able to provide stewardship training for.

So we're creating a video curriculum, a Stewardology video curriculum, that is designed to pair with the book that I've, that Roy and I wrote called The Good Steward, and to pair with the seminar content, the things that we go over in a concentrated, condensed format in a three-day [laughs] seminar, and bring it into a small group, into a Sunday school class where we can actually walk people through the content.

So it would involve r- reading the book, watching videos, having discussions, uh, having the opportunity for you to prayerfully and slowly go through verses of scripture, ideas and concepts, looking at practical ways of applying the principles to your financial and stewardship lives.

We think that this thing, the Stewardology video curriculum, could potentially radically change the framework of the way churches think and handle money.

And you'll notice we keep calling it the Stewardology video curriculum.

That's because we're so early in this process, but we're so excited about it that we wanna tell you that we don't even really have a name for it yet.

Nope.

[laughs]

[laughs] We're still working on it.

Nope.

We're still actually drafting this thing out.

Yeah, yeah.
