Mindful of the Truth
Developed by Dr. Dan Hayden
Understanding God’s Word is important. Learning to carry it with you is even better. Mindful of the Truth provides a practical, Christ-centered system for memorizing Scripture and retaining what you have learned.
This resource was originally included as an appendix to Foundations for Life. It now lives here as a companion study so it can be used independently of the book.

Supplemental Video Teaching
These teaching sessions were originally recorded during the COVID-19 shutdown, when in-person classes at a men’s rehabilitation ministry were temporarily suspended. They cover selected subjects from Foundations for Life and are provided here as supplemental teaching for individuals and groups using the study.
These videos are supplemental resources rather than required parts of the eight-class course.
