Curriculum
Each quarter we go deep on one theme drawn from the field. These topics rotate across the year and build on each other — so every call moves the movement forward.
How to establish the right posture as a free-world coach. What does it look like to equip without controlling? Real stories from the field.
Entry strategy for new units. How do you identify and invest in the right inmate leaders? What does the "on-fire inmate" look like inside prison culture?
How the 3/3 DBS format works inside dorms, dayrooms, and rec yards. Adapting for racial and cultural dynamics. Training inmates to lead it themselves.
Using the Brutal Impact report to measure generational church multiplication. How to review progress data and coach from it without micromanaging.
When a key leader gets transferred, it's not a setback — it's multiplication. How to use the NPL network to connect them to coaches in their new unit.
Every released NPL leader is a church plant launch. How to connect released inmates to local NPL networks and support their reintegration as Level 2–3 leaders.
Texas prisons are stratified by race and culture. How to begin where you have credibility and let the Spirit create cross-racial multiplication organically.
What does a quarterly unit visit look like? How to facilitate Iron-on-Iron meetings, review church maps, and escalate breakthrough units for case study.
