Orange Curriculum Update: Can New Owners Fix Its Theological Flaws?
from Theology Mom || All The Things · host Krista Bontrager
I share the latest developments at the Orange Sunday school curriculum in this in-depth update. Explore the recent leadership transitions, including the resignation of co-founder Reggie Joiner and CEO Kristen Ivy, and the acquisition by the Amazing Life Foundation. This video critically examines Orange’s nine theological insights, highlighting concerns about vague theology, secular humanism, and lack of transparency in their content and team. Is the new ownership poised to address these issues and bring more biblical depth to a curriculum reaching a million youth weekly? I analyze Orange’s direction, offer insights for KidMin leaders, and share my vision for how to reform the curriculum so that's rooted in robust Christian theology.
