Raise Up Faithful, Confident Bible Teachers in Your Local Church
The Lab Kit
Stop guessing how to develop your leaders or spending dozens of hours reinventing the training wheel. The Lab Kit grants you ongoing access to our private Digital Resource Center—a turnkey coaching ecosystem designed to help you organize, train, and launch your teachers with complete confidence.
You know the voices in your pews carry immense weight because they share a zip code with your community. But giving everyday people—the stay-at-home parent, the business owner, the retiree—the practical tools to accurately handle and teach Scripture takes time you simply don’t have.
You shouldn't have to choose between deep theological preparation and your demanding weekly ministry schedule.
That’s why we built the Lab Kit. We did the heavy lifting, designed the curriculum frameworks, and recorded the training examples so you can step into your facilitator role immediately without the administrative burden.

THE GOAL OF LAB
-
Learning to teach is scary! Plus there are so many gifted communicators out there. It’s easy to convince yourself that you’re not good enough or that someone else could do it better. And most of us are afraid to get it wrong, theologically and in delivery. But we believe more local teachers are needed! So we're here to cheer you on. Now, we’ll shoot you straight—if we really think you’re not gifted at this, we’ll let you know. Teaching isn’t for everyone. BUT, most teachers we encounter ARE gifted to teach; they just need some confidence. We want to give you the encouragement to teach with boldness and confidence!
-
Most of the time, a teacher has no idea where they are uniquely gifted. You might be great at observing the text or illustrating it. You might be great at summarizing passages of scripture or maybe you’re a great story teller. Part of our job is to identify what you are uniquely gifted at so you have even more confidence to lean in there. The same goes for weaknesses. Everyone has places that just don't come as naturally. We identify those weak spots and help provide direction for how to strengthen those areas and remind you why it matters to do so.
-
We see ourselves as coaches, not critics. So as problem areas are addressed, we’re also looking to provide clear and measurable steps forward. We’ll provide some ideas to try, some new ways to use your notes, resources to check out, a possible practice to do at home.
-
We’re aware that God is often calling people into teaching for their own sanctification as much as anything else. And we don't want to ignore that aspect but instead provide holistic coaching and care for you in this journey. That means sometimes we will address motivational issues or talk through your fears and insecurities.
-
We've heard it said that it takes 200x of teaching to find your own voice. We hope to shorten that through labs by identifying what makes each teacher unique. We want to provide the courage for you to embrace exactly who God made you to be as a teacher.

We only have time for you to teach for 20 minutes. Here are a few options: teach the part of your message you MOST want feedback on. We’ll give you a minute at the beginning and the end to give us context for that part of your message.
Give a shorter version of the teaching by cutting out stories, examples or intros/outros, so that we get the full picture of your outline, flow, etc. But make sure at least one section of the teaching remains as is. We want to get a sense of who are as a teacher.
You can book 2 spots in the same lab and then we can give you the full 40 minutes to teach.

Those are the only times we have available this year. You can consider bringing Teach Equip to your church and learning how to host your own labs!
