"The Thread is incredible. My students are starting to see the Word of God in an entire new light. The Thread emphasizes the work and presence of Jesus throughout the Bible, while also showing how it all points to Him. I would recommend The Thread a million times over to any Student Pastor looking to dive deeply into the Word."
"We are truly happy with this curriculum. We have bought several things with YM360 and have always been pleased. This material, The Thread, in particular is being used in our discipleship classes and the way it all comes together and connects the Old and New Testament, as well as has practical and helpful information which helps connect students and allows them to participate, ask questions, and helps apply it to the students daily life."
"The Thread curriculum was fantastic for our group. We currently have 6th-12th graders all together for our meetings Sunday mornings. This curriculum is easily adapted to fit any size group, any grade group, and any length of meeting. YM360 did an excellent job picking major stories and themes to help walk students through the whole of Scripture and see the Thread of God's redemptive plan."

The Thread is a small group bible study curriculum designed to accomplish two simple things. First, your students will learn the big-picture story of Scripture. Your students will learn what the Gospel is, and how it courses through the narrative of Scripture. The Thread will teach your students God’s story, and how God wove His thread of love through every page of it.
