Episode notes
Recenter Kids Ministry on God
- Avoid making the self the hero in children's ministry curriculums like Orange does.
- Focus instead on teaching kids about God's sovereignty and their role as fallen image bearers reconciled through Jesus.
Pitfalls of Proof-Texting Scripture
- Orange curriculum proof-texts scripture to teach predetermined moral lessons rather than letting scripture speak.
- This faulty approach leads kids to misinterpret God's word and miss its main themes.
Choose Curriculum by Exegesis
- Choose curricula that exegete scripture properly and reveal God's character from the text.
- Consider The Gospel Project or Desiring God's Truth curriculum as better alternatives to Orange.
