Kingdom Curriculum That Changes Your Nature.
Four standalone titles. One mission — to immerse disciples of every age in the transforming presence of God through Scripture, spiritual discipline, and Kingdom law.
A Word From Bishop Dr. James N. Hassell
"The Pickle Principle is not a metaphor. It is a law. You become what you soak in. The only question is whether you are intentional about the brine you choose."
Bishop Dr. James N. Hassell has spent decades helping disciples move from surface-level faith to deep, rooted transformation. The Kingdom Formation Series is the distillation of that journey — four titles, every age, one mission.
Four Titles. One Series.
Each title in the Kingdom Formation Series stands on its own — a complete, self-contained curriculum designed to move disciples of every age from surface-level faith to deep, rooted transformation.

The Two Jars
Every spiritual discipline has an opposing indulgence. The flesh and the Spirit are at war. The Two Jars framework makes this tension concrete, visual, and actionable for disciples of every age.
In which jar are you soaking? The brine of God's Word, prayer, and community — or the brine of distraction, comfort, and self-reliance?

What Leaders Are Saying
"The Pickle Principle transformed our small group. The discipline-vs-indulgence framework gave our members language for what they were experiencing."
"Our youth group went through the Teen Edition and the Two Jars visual stuck with them all semester. Best curriculum investment we've made."
"Keys to the Kingdom is the most systematic Kingdom theology I've encountered in a devotional format. Required reading for our leadership team."
"The Children's Edition is the best Sunday school curriculum we have ever used. The Two Jars concept clicked immediately — our kids are still talking about which jar they are soaking in months later."
