WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING...
“My students connected with the stories by leaps and bounds! The questions they have been asking have been so powerful. What an awesome way to teach teens the greatest stories on earth! Thank you!”
—LISA, VOLUNTEER
“Many of our students now see themselves in Godʼs story rather than just focusing on their own story.”
—JOSH, GROUP LEADER
“This helped our students to dig deeper into Godʼs story and apply it to their own lives – it helped them to go so much deeper and was more thought-provoking than lecture material. I prayed that our kids would be changed ... and that prayer was answered. Awesome.”
—ANGIE, VOLUNTEER
“My students were immersed in the Scriptures in a way they have never been before. They have a greater understanding of the Story of Stories. They became a part of the Story! This was an opportunity for us to engage in a life-changing experience.”
—DAVID, LEADER
“The stories came alive to our students—the more they talked about them, the more they saw different ways they connected to their lives. They were learning for themselves—and this learning sticks! I was right there with the students...the stories came alive for me, too!”
—RACHEL, VOLUNTEER
“I loved how the stories and questions made the students think beyond just the stories they have known since childhood… Almost every time we met, the discussion would lead to some really deep thoughts and questions. The challenge was great.”
—SHARRY, GROUP LEADER
“I had no idea that I would learn so much from stories I have heard all my life.”
—STEPH, VOLUNTEER
“It was amazing to see so many students making connections in the stories and discovering things about God which they had never noticed in the old familiar Sunday school stories.”
—JOHN, VOLUNTEER
“This was the best interaction I have had with my group of girls about the Bible since I started working with students.”
—SUE, VOLUNTEER
“I was amazed at the level of engagement and excitement towards the stories that the students and leaders showed over the course of the year. They not only remembered the stories, but were excited to dig deeper into the Bible for themselves to learn even more about them. This gave us a great foundation of the Story of God in our group!”
—MARK, GROUP LEADER
“We didnʼt want to miss a week because the stories were so interesting. They gave our students a foundation for knowing God. We all need to hear these stories.”
—MONICA, VOLUNTEER
“Even though I have taught Bible stories for many years, this was new and different. I came every week to find out what was going to happen next in the story and see the ʻlight bulbsʼ go on!“
—HOLLY, VOLUNTEER
“My son has been learning about the Bible at home and school his entire life. He has learned more from these stories about God than from anywhere else.”
—ABBY, PARENT
WHAT YOUTH ARE SAYING...
“I (now) see that the Bible isn’t boring, but full of amazing info and stories that can impact my life.”
—LIZ
“I began to see the context of my life within God’s story. The Bible’s not distant anymore. It’s like – whoa! – my life has merged with God’s story. I’m part of what He’s doing, I’m a Kingdom participant and builder. I realize that community is the most important thing I could give my life to. That’s what its all about – a bunch of people getting together to live collectively and individually the life Jesus came to show us.”
— NATALIE
“I find myself telling these stories to some of my friends at school… some of them don’t know God at all. It is also inspiring me to write songs about God.”
— ANDREW
“I got a picture of how I should and shouldn’t live. I related to the struggles of the Israelites and saw how much I need God.“
— JARED
“I learned more than I ever have before… I saw that I really wasn’t a believer. The stories pulled me back in.”
— DREW
“The stories challenged me to look beneath the surface and search for more about God’s character. I learned something new from every single story.”
— JESSICA
“The stories and discussion really challenged the way I viewed the Bible and the perspective I’ve had about Christianity… it really helped me dig deep and actually understand the story… I am now challenged to live open to whatever Jesus calls – live to just be able to pack up and leave whenever Jesus wants me to!”
— TODD
“I saw these stories in a new light. I want to read them over and over again!”
— HOPE
“I could not stop thinking about the stories. Some of the questions were so difficult they made me want to go and search for the answers.”
— EMILY
“The stories changed my whole perspective on my faith. The made me want to live for God because he is amazing and those stories prove it.”
— MEGAN
“For the first time I felt like I could relate to the characters in the story… I saw the characters as real, plausible and many sided. They became real people doing REAL things… It challenged me to really listen to God and obey his calling… I was challenged to live in God’s will fully. I need to surrender EVERYTHING to God.”
— JENNIFER
“I want to be a part of God’s Story and mission of restoration by defending and fighting for those who can’t defend themselves.”
— ELIZABETH
“I can now place myself as part of God’s big story. I now have the knowledge of how to be more like Jesus because I saw more of what he was like.”
— ALI
“The stories make you really think. Forget what you think you know. Listen like you haven’t heard it before. You will see things you have never seen before!”
— BRYAN
I see it as a story now, I see it as fun to read scriptures and dive in. I was challenged to really live for Christ and give everything to him. I want to serve and obey and have faith… I’m going to love people that I had a hard time loving before, I want to be a servant and a disciple, doing little things to help out people around me and be Christ to them.”
