Manage episode 379358038 series 2286104
How do I get students to actually read their Bibles?
Join Zac and Chad as we recount some wilds stories of swimming in open waters. Seriously though, Chad why would you push your wife towards the sharks?
Getting students to engage with Scripture starts where they are and nurturing their curiosity so they don't fall into patterns of only reading it during crisis or reciting it as cliche.
Remember, your goal is to create an environment where teenagers can explore the Bible's teachings in a way that resonates with them. It's about fostering a genuine interest and understanding rather than forcing them to open to it.
Join us as we dive into these practical strategies to help your teenagers build a meaningful connection with the Christian Bible.
The role of a great youth minister is as a guide. You are taking people out on the boat to show them how deep and beautiful the ocean really can be.
You are creating a safe space for exploration and that support will help your students journey through the scriptures.
