This is a beautiful project. I watched this video and wept because it reminded me of the inadequacies of my early walk with Chris. If I had something like this it could have saved me many Biblical errors and sins early on. I am still crying as I think back to those days.
God Bless your project. May it save others many tears. Selah.
I appreciate all the programs and communications you do. It has helped me grow in my understanding and faith. I took much for granted and reading the blog, watching the TTP program and listening to podcasts has opened me up to a new, exciting world of what it means to be a follower of Christ. I plan to attend the next online TTP course as well. My question is about applicability of Disciple Course to youth. My son is 14 and a sharp kid. He has very good questions and I want him to learn with me. Would you suggest this course for someone his age?
Ken,
The Discipleship Program would be perfect for you and your 14 year old son to go through together. When we first taught the program we had an entire youth group as part of the class and they were able to track with it.
please let us know how it works for you guys,
Tim
Great project, Tim! This will be a good compliment to your books. Your book “The King’s Cross” was a great study and reallly opened my eyes to the importance of Jesus’ life.
Is the Discipleship Program going to tie into some of your teachings in “The King’s Cross”?
By the way: Do you plan on doing a video series or book on Reformed Apologetics?
Thanks, Tim!
BLESSINGS!
Dave,
You’ve got me, Tim Kimberley, confused with author Tim Keller. We love Tim Keller and The Discipleship Program is fully in line with Keller’s views.

Tim,
We have been going through The Theology Program for the last year in Sunday School with great success. Would you think that those who have gone through that would be repeating material in this project? I haven’t thought about using it for our youth but that is a fantastic idea. Also, with the Power Points, does that make it possible for a leader to teach rather than to have videos to watch? That is what we have done with TTP in Sunday School. Blessings to all you guys.
