Curriculum

“Dr. Jim Smyrl leads a wonderful ministry called Loyal Heart Ministries. This is a ministry to help churches make disciples and apply the Word in all areas of life.  Dr. Smyrl has developed a theology-driven curriculum to assist pastors and small group leaders in the assignment of discipleship and spiritual growth.  I encourage you to review this material.”- Dr. John Sullivan, Executive Director-Treasurer of Florida Baptist Convention

Testimonial:
“After transitioning a Sunday School program from Middle School through adults to the TDM material, I am convinced that this is the best and most spiritually productive material available today.  The TDM curriculum is designed to develop measurable spiritual growth in the students, particularly in the development of a healthy biblical worldview.  We have found, in a short period, that if prayerfully and properly used, it does just that.”
- Mark Tuso, Associate Pastor, Crosspointe Baptist Church Millington, TN
