The Essentials course is comprehensive in scope and is meant to be thought-provoking towards application. With the 21 videos, additional resources, and optional homework, we suggest budgeting a few hours each week to slowly digest and apply the concepts to your ministry. With that pace in mind, the course will likely take at least 6-9 months to complete. I had in the closing for essentials that it takes at least 6-9 month process or more to build and launch your program.
