The new curriculum teaches that the Sword of the Spirit isn’t just for quoting Bible verses to others; it’s for cutting through lies like “I’m not smart enough” or “Nobody likes me.” The Breastplate of Righteousness is no longer about "being good," but about knowing your identity is secure, even when you fail a math test or lose a game.
