The Sam Dunn Teaching Series — Index
Nine blog posts for the Ministry Prayer Life page, each built from a handwritten/typed lesson plan Sam Dunn wrote to leave behind for his family, transcribed from the photos in Ministry Prayer Life/Sam Dunn Ministry Lesson Plans. Voice is Matt's; the teaching, scripture selection, and testimony are Sam's. Posts can be scheduled in any order.

**Editorial notes:**
- Minor source typos were silently corrected to standard references: "1 John 1:19" → 1 John 1:9; "Zachariah" → Zechariah.
- Categories above are my suggestions. "Outreach & Ministry" is confirmed to exist on MPL (from your example post); "Faith & Teaching," "Prayer," and "Prayer & Spiritual Warfare" may need to be created or swapped for existing MPL categories.
- Cover images are concepts only — generate/source each at 600×400 px; alt text is written to match.
- Recurring thread across the lessons: judging God / judging others (Matthew 7:1; Romans 2; Deuteronomy 32:51 on Moses). Posts 2, 4, 6, 7, and 9 all touch it — vary the scheduling so they don't run back-to-back.
- Sam has given his full blessing to use, share, and post all of these. Publish them as they read.
- Posts #2 and #6 carry deeply personal testimony (the loss of a child; a healing letter signed "Papa"). Per Matt's standing rule, no individual is ever named in a story context involving loss or suffering — these stay unnamed by design. The way we honor Sam and Wali is to publish the lessons as written and credit Sam as the source of the teaching.
