1. Student Lesson 1 — Navigation
Covers Psalm 119:105 ("Your word is a lamp to my feet..."), exploring how God's Word serves as our spiritual compass when life feels unclear.
Outdoor Skills Paired with God's Word
The Faith & Fire Survival Curriculum connects hands-on outdoor survival skills with timeless biblical truth. Rather than treating survival techniques as isolated tasks, every lesson pairs a real-world outdoor discipline (such as compass navigation, firecraft, or water sourcing) with an illuminating spiritual lesson from Scripture.
