STB133 | BSE | Planning with Purpose | Cultivate Relationships

BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION - Pastor Scott and Nathan give a behind-the-scenes look at how they design teaching series, whether for a Sunday morning sermon or a mid-week Bible study. They explore how practical theology, lifestyle discipleship, and Spirit-led planning help shape every session. They unpack how intentional structure (with a lot of flexibility) keeps people engaged, spiritually growing, and relationally connected. It’s a fun and honest look at planning for transformation, not just attendance.

This section focuses on breaking the series into smaller, accessible segments to keep people from drifting and help make truth stick.
(56:16) Don’t Just Teach It — Live It
