I love how reframe set up the context for the series- the story that students need to see their lives a part of. And I appreciate how the teaching guide sets up the context for the passage we focus on- clear and concise. If I had to make a suggestions, it would be to provide a Big Idea for students to focus in on as they chew on the passages.
Drew, thank you for this review! We actually added a big idea to all of our newer writings. From Whole Life Discipleship Vol. 1 onwards, you'll see this added. Thank you!
We are so excited to start using this curriculum this month. It was just what we were looking for!
I used the WLD series on Identity and gifts for our weekend youth retreat, and it created great dialogue amongst the students and leaders. The volunteer guides prepared our leaders to keep the conversation moving, and the reflections helped to transition into the quiet time we encouraged to students to have at the end of the lessons. The content is rich with scripture and the scenarios create a link to current issues the youth are facing.
