who we are. ↓
GoodLion School of Discipleship is a donor-supported, intentionally small school for spiritual and theological formation.
Each Sunday evening, students gather in the Yukon / Oklahoma City area for food, fellowship, biblical teaching, discussion, and real Christian community. We study the story of Scripture, the teachings of Jesus, and what it means to live as his apprentices in ordinary life.
Students are not charged tuition. Donors and ministry partners help cover the work, while Aaron has sustained much of it through years of freelance and tentmaking work. Our hope is to build the recurring support that will let him give his full working attention to GoodLion and the School.
No grades. No tuition bill. A serious invitation to show up and grow.
Just Scripture, friendship, honest questions, and a room full of people learning to follow Jesus.
WHAT WE DO
We begin with about 30 minutes of food and fellowship, then move into roughly two and a half hours of biblical teaching and discussion woven together. This is not a sealed lecture. Students can ask questions, wrestle with ideas, follow threads, and bring the conversation into real life as we go.
We begin with food and unhurried conversation. Friendship is part of formation, so the room matters as much as the lesson plan.
We teach Scripture and theology deeply, but the conversation stays open. Questions, doubts, disagreements, and unfinished thoughts are welcome.
The conversation continues between Sundays through friendship, prayer, follow-up questions, and a group chat that helps the cohort become a genuine community.
Theology taken seriously.
Some weeks move slowly through a particular passage. Others trace a major biblical theme across the whole story of Scripture. We use accessible, seminary-quality resources, including BibleProject videos, visual teaching tools, and guided discussion.
The goal is always the same: to understand who Jesus is, what it means for him to be King, and how to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom here and now.
The School follows a three-year pathway.
Year One builds a foundation through the big-picture themes of the Bible: the character of God, the problem of sin, the identity of Jesus, the shape of the Kingdom, and the calling of every believer.
Years Two and Three move slowly through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’ vision for the life of a disciple.
people > programs
The School stays intentionally small so students can be known, mentored, and cared for personally.
As trusted leaders, volunteers, and teachers join the work, we can welcome more students without allowing that care to become thin.
The point is simple: no student should become anonymous.
in their words
“I used to pray because I felt I had left God's presence. Now I pray because I don't ever want to leave it. Thanks, Aaron.”
STUDENT · COHORT 01
“Stepping into that space feels like stepping out of the mainstream of busy, everyday life to recharge in a community of people pursuing Jesus. What a gift!”
STUDENT · COHORT 01
“GoodLion has brought me to a place where I have a desire to learn more and grasp a deeper understanding.”
STUDENT · COHORT 01
“This has had SUCH an impact on my group of friends. It feels like family. It's a safe environment, and it's comforting to see all of us striving toward the same goal.”

COHORT 02We are gathering a new community of young adults who want serious biblical theology, honest Christian friendship, and a life with Jesus that holds together beyond Sunday.
The School meets Sunday evenings from 6–9 PM in the Yukon / Oklahoma City area. Adding your name does not commit you to attend. It lets us keep you informed as the exact location and launch plans are finalized.
a blessing to the local church
GoodLion strengthens the discipleship already happening in local churches.
We help young adults grow in biblical understanding, spiritual maturity, and the way of Jesus, so they can serve with greater depth in their own congregations.
Pastors are welcome to bring students, participate in the room, and help guide the conversation with their own young adults.
