Mark’s original curricula Let God Be God: The Nature and Characteristics of God and Timeless Truth: An Apologetic for the Reliability, Authenticity, and Authority of Scripture have served the Christian school movement around the world. In 2006 Mark consulted with Chuck Colson to produce a curriculum for high school students called Rewired. Since then he has produced both online and print curricula for various ministries.

Through this three-hour course, you will be trained to prepare your staff to meet the ACSI philosophy requirement using The Truth Project material (DVD series and website from Focus on the Family) and the supplemental materials developed by ACSI. Every ACSI school should have at least one person qualified to provide this training onsite. Specifically, ACSI accredited schools are strongly encouraged to have a qualified person onsite to provide the training. This course is sure to become the preferred option for the ACSI philosophy course! Register on The Truth Project flyer.
StrengthsQuest
After fifty years of research by the Gallup Organization, the field of positive psychology has successfully demonstrated that trying to fix personal weaknesses is far less productive than taking strengths to a higher level. This three hour course, based on the book Now Discover Your Strengths, will look at thirty-four God-given talents and how the knowledge of them can take you, and others, to greater levels of achievement. The Gallup Organization has developed an online assessment inventory called the StrengthsFinder which identifies a person’s most dominant themes of strengths and talents. Each individual will be sent a code that allows them to take the StrengthsFinder inventory before they come to the conference. Everyone will receive a copy of Now Discover Your Strengths. Register on the StengthsQuest form.
