That's where you come in! With the help of Master Builders Skip and Sylvia, and the relatable and reluctant learner Thor, this curriculum will help you empower people to build the lives they want. Lives that are Strong, Functional and Inspirational!
Master builders
Skip and Sylvia will help you get the tools you need to build the life you want...
and they will show you how to become a master at using them!
If Thor can learn to PUT DOWN HIS WEAPONS AND PICK UP HIS TOOLS, so can you!
CHARACTER QUALITIES the
PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPONS. PICK UP YOUR TOOLS.
Many of us have grown up believing that weapons such as violence, slander, manipulation, gossip, deceit, and intimidation are our best option for building the life we want. But these weapons can only make you feel secure in the moment! Weapons can't build a shelter that will last a lifetime and keep you safe while you learn and grow. That's what tools are for!
Character qualities are the tools you need to build the life you want!
HERE THEY ARE! COLLECT ALL 16
