Plans That Survive Contact: Strategy Tradecraft
Every plan looks brilliant until it meets the real world. Plans That Survive Contact builds strategists who can scope a problem, define the desired end state, and commit to courses of action that hold up when reality pushes back. Across the series, you'll move from strategic maxims and guiding precepts to the disciplined work that separates a strategy from a wish: analyzing the competition, identifying centers of gravity, red-teaming your own assumptions, and setting clear exit criteria before resources are committed. Each course stands on its own and stacks with the others, so you can enter at your level and build a complete strategist's toolkit at your own pace. Grounded in proven frameworks — from scoping and systems thinking to implementation and exit criteria — the series pairs timeless principles with hands-on exercises so the habits stick, not just the theory. If you carry serious responsibility for charting a course and committing resources to it, this series gives you the thinking tools to architect long-term success with confidence and foresight.

First, Follow: Leadership Tradecraft
The leaders people actually want to follow aren't the ones who chase the title — they're the ones who learned to follow and serve first. First, Follow develops leaders who hold steady under pressure, build trust, and translate values into everyday action. Across the series, you'll move from the foundations of followership and self-leadership to the harder work that separates competent managers from leaders others choose to follow: fostering cooperation, edifying your people, and cultivating space for individuality. Each course stands on its own and stacks with the others, so you can grow at your own pace, wherever you are in your leadership journey. Rooted in servant leadership and grounded in principled, real-world practice, the series pairs timeless maxims with practical exercises so the habits stick — not just the theory. If you carry serious responsibility for the people and missions in your care, this series gives you the tools to lead with integrity, conviction, and lasting impact.

Rightly Dividing: Biblical Discernment Tradecraft
A convincing argument isn't the same as a true one. Rightly Dividing sharpens your ability to distinguish wisdom from persuasion and cut through convincing-sounding arguments with grounded, scriptural reasoning. Across the series, you'll move from the disciplined study of Scripture to the harder work of applying it: testing claims against sound interpretation, recognizing false certainties, and discerning truth in a culture saturated with noise. Each course stands on its own and stacks with the others, so you can grow at your own pace, wherever you are in your study and faith journey. Rooted in faithful biblical scholarship and paired with rigorous thinking habits, the series moves you from reading the text to living its wisdom under pressure. If you carry serious responsibility for discerning what is true, right, and wise, this series gives you the tools to think clearly and stand firm when it matters most.

The Discipline of Doubt: Intelligence Analysis Tradecraft - limited access
Rigorous intelligence analysis isn't a talent you're born with — it's a discipline you build. In The Discipline of Doubt, you'll master the tradecraft behind sound, defensible analytic judgments by learning to apply the Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 203 Analytic Standards to intelligence products. You won't just study the nine standards — you'll use them. Across the course, you'll evaluate representative intelligence reports for adherence to each standard, sharpening your ability to spot where analysis holds up and where it falls apart. By the end, you'll produce and assess intelligence the way the professionals do: calibrated in uncertainty, grounded in credible sourcing, and clear enough that a decision-maker can act on it.
