The heart of every course
My Foundation runs through it all.
Whichever course you choose, every meeting begins with a principle from My Foundation — twelve doctrinal principles of spiritual and temporal self-reliance. You don’t just learn a skill. You build a life on the rock of the Redeemer.
✦ Exercise faith in Jesus Christ
✦ Manage money
✦ Use time wisely
✦ Work and persevere
✦ Solve problems
✦ Become one, serve together
✦ Show integrity
✦ Seek learning
How groups work
Not a class. A council.
A small group
8–14 people around a table. Everyone participates; everyone belongs.
No expert required
A facilitator guides the materials — the group teaches each other, with the Spirit.
2 hours a week
One weekly meeting for the length of the course. Practical from day one.
Commitments that stick
Weekly commitments and an action partner turn good intentions into habits.
Leader’s guide — present it with the same energy
1
Invite in public, never in private
Pulpit, classes, group texts. A room-wide ask singles no one out.
2
Talk outcomes, not problems
“Learn to invest and serve” fills a room. “Get help with debt” empties it.
3
Join it yourself
Nothing says “this is for everyone” like a leader sitting in the circle.
