Most people learned relationships by watching what went wrong. And it shows in their jobs, families, and friendships.
Take your people from burning bridges to building them, in twelve short lessons. Built for churches and ministries, and simple enough for any volunteer to lead.
Relationship lessons that life never taught.
No volunteer training required ✦ Faith-based ✦ Open to everyone ✦ Buy once, teach forever
Hard lives teach people to defend first and never connect.
Lands a job. Blows up after a hard conversation.
Wants kids back. Can’t get through a phone call without a fight.
Finds a place to live. Loses it after one argument with a roommate.
MOVEMENT 1
Inward. What’s going on inside me?
MOVEMENT 2
Repair. How do I rebuild what I’ve broken?
MOVEMENT 3
Outward. How do I start building from here?
Teach the skills most people never learn.
The Connections curriculum is twelve 60-minute lessons, organized into three movements. Each lesson gives people a practical tool to see their own patterns and choose a better response.
Use Connections as a course or a toolbox.
Every Connections lesson stands on its own. You can use all twelve for the full journey, or grab the one that fits the moment.
One-on-one: If someone is struggling, pull the lesson that fits and walk through it together.
Full class: Walk a group through all 12 lessons, one a week. Ideal for required classes, discipleship programs, or recovery groups.
Small or large group: The slides and guest booklet work for 5 people or 50.
We built Connections so volunteers can pick it up and teach it well, even without training. Every lesson includes:
Slide deck: Every lesson is laid out slide by slide so you can project and start teaching.
Teacher guide: Step by step talking points, teachings, and discussion questions
Guest booklet: Fill-in-the-blank pages that keep participants engaged and give them something to take home.
How-to-use page: Explains the icons and how the slides, teacher guide, and booklet fit together.
Everything you need to lead. No training required.
One price. Yours for life.
