There is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to faith formation. The ways in which we connect with God and nurture our faith are as numerous and diverse as humanity itself. We are all beautifully, uniquely, and wonderfully made, so why limit curiosity with a curriculum where the answer to every question is, “Jesus!”
Critical Thinking as Sacred Practice
At the heart of Mini Revolutions is the conviction that faith flourishes when people of all ages are empowered to reflect, wonder, and explore freely. Curiosity is not something to fear—it’s something to celebrate. Our curriculum makes space for imagination and honest questions, trusting that God and the Bible can hold them.
Developing critical thinking skills is a sacred part of spiritual growth. Mini Revolutions supports you in nurturing a thoughtful, compassionate faith by inviting participants of all ages to think deeply, notice what matters, and make meaningful connections over and over and over again.
Learning with Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy
This post explores the learning framework of Mini Revolutions—the intentional structure that shapes each lesson. We use Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy as our framework to guide participants through the learning journey from knowledge to exploration to transformation.
Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy is a widely respected educational framework used to describe the progression of learning through various levels. Originally developed by educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom and later revised to reflect a more dynamic model of thinking, the taxonomy lays out six levels of cognitive development:
- Remembering: recalling facts and basic concepts
- Understanding: explaining ideas or concepts
- Applying: using knowledge in new situations
- Analyzing: drawing connections and distinguishing between parts
- Evaluating: justifying a decision or viewpoint
- Creating: generating new ideas, products, or ways of understanding
Moving from Knowledge to Creation
Rather than stopping at remembering facts, Bloom’s updated learning model supports the rhythm of learning, helping participants grow into creative thinkers and builders of new knowledge.
In Mini Revolutions, we use this model to shape how we engage with scripture and theology. Each weekly session supports learners in:
- Remembering key details
- Understanding the story
- Applying it to real-life moments
- Analyzing what’s happening
- Evaluating what matters
- Creating something new
This scaffolding builds theological confidence and encourages learners to become thoughtful, compassionate people of faith.
A Curriculum Without Shame or Hustle
Mini Revolutions begins with the truth: we are made in the image of God and worthy of love. We intentionally avoid:
- Shame-based or fear-based teaching
- Language that emphasizes sin over sacred worth
- Theological pressure to “get it right”
And we also resist programmatic hustle culture. Our format is intentionally light, repeatable, and adaptable—so you can focus on formation, not logistics.
Grounded in Justice, Rhythm, and Real Life
Mini Revolutions follows the Church year, meaning it’s grounded in rhythm and written in real time. While we don’t chase headlines, we do write with present-tense awareness.
We craft each month’s content with spiritual depth and pastoral care—meeting your community where they are and helping them reflect, act, and grow.
Flexible and Intergenerational by Design
Mini Revolutions is adaptable! It works in classrooms, worship spaces, and homes—anywhere people gather to learn in community.
This curriculum structure supports:
- Mixed-age groups and one-room Sunday schools
- Neurodivergent learners and pre-readers
- Families, volunteers, and solo pastors leading with limited prep time
It’s not rigid. It’s real.
Why This Matters
The Mini Revolutions learning framework isn’t just about delivering information. It’s about shaping a community of people who reflect, question, and grow together—story by story, season by season.
That’s what Mini Revolutions is designed to do.
