Frameworks
A shared language for every curriculum.
“…full of grace and truth.”
John 1:14
Simple enough to carry with you.
The Garden Project curricula use recurring frameworks. They support continuity across every study, while allowing each curriculum to keep its own identity.
Each framework gives language for what is happening and a next step to take, whether in a Bible study, a conversation or your own heart.
The framework library
- The Grace–Truth MatrixLanguage for what’s happening, and a map for what to do next.Names the “relationship atmosphere” we are living in, with God, with others and within ourselves, through four postures: performance, isolation, total excess, and grace & truth.
- S.O.A.P.So the Word forms us, not merely informs us.A simple, repeatable way to read, study and live out the Bible: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer.

Bring them to your group
These resources may be used in churches, small groups, classes, discipleship cohorts, workshops, retreats and personal study. Before you lead one:
- Adapt the examples to your local context.
- Keep the biblical and theological structure.
- Don’t remove the formation practices just to save time.
- Prepare your facilitators before the group begins.
Full facilitator guides, with setup, timing, safety notes and discussion questions, are available on request. For teaching, publishing, translation, partnership or licensing, contact The Garden Project.
