What makes FAITH Plus unique
Comprehensive without overwhelming
FAITH Plus covers a vast amount of material, but structures it clearly. Each session builds on previous ones without repetition.
Theological depth in plain English
FAITH Plus introduces systematic theology (doctrine of God, soteriology, pneumatology, eschatology) but explains everything in language laypeople understand.
Addresses real-life issues
FAITH Plus doesn’t just teach abstract theology. It applies biblical truth to marriage, parenting, money, work, suffering, and spiritual attack.
Prepares for ministry
By the time you complete FAITH Plus, you’re equipped to lead others. You can teach, disciple, and shepherd with biblical grounding and practical wisdom.
Integrates VICTORY principles
Throughout FAITH Plus, VICTORY truths are woven in. You learn advanced material whilst maintaining grace-based orientation.
Biblical foundation
FAITH Plus is saturated with Scripture. Every session includes extensive biblical references, theological grounding, and practical application of biblical truth.
Sample memory verses:
- Session 1: Romans 8:29-30 (the golden chain of salvation)
- Session 2: Psalm 103:8 (God’s character)
- Session 3: Galatians 5:16 (walk in the Spirit)
Each session includes 20-30 biblical references, careful exegesis, and theological accuracy.
