    Biblical Literacy Balanced with Biblical Curiosity

    Tell Me About the Bible: Extraordinary Leaders highlights stories not commonly heard in church, inviting students and their youth leaders to balance biblical literacy with biblical curiosity. Each lesson includes insightful background information and comprehensive discussion questions to encourage curiosity and wonder as you explore how the Bible’s ancient stories connect to our lives today.

    Adaptable Content for Every Expression of Youth Group

    No matter where you meet or how many students you have, Tell Me About the Bible: Extraordinary Leaders will work for you! It has everything youth leaders need and want in a progressive youth curriculum: a check-in question, both chill and active options for games, an activity, a real-life application, a weekly challenge, and a short description and discussion question to send home to parents and caregivers. 

    Thoughtful and Well-Researched Progressive Youth Curriculum

    Tell Me About the Bible: Extraordinary Leaders was not developed overnight. Many months of research, trial and error, and testing make this the best product it can be. Our team of writers, editors, and specialists have created something we know your youth will enjoy, and your teachers will be able to easily lead. In fact, teachers can even listen to an audio component  that overviews the entire lesson and fully equips them for each session. Where else can you find that? 

    On a Personal Note…

    Having been a children’s and youth director for ten years, I understand the time and commitment it takes to prepare fun and engaging lessons week after week. I also know curriculum purchases can be a gamble. Our hope is that this curriculum will put your mind at ease with its progressive, thoughtful content and effortless planning.

      Don’t take our word for it!

      But don’t just take our word for it—Tell Me About the Bible: Extraordinary Leaders has garnered incredible reviews, and you can read some of them on our store. Here’s one from Shelley Donaldson, a veteran youth ministry leader.

      “This curriculum has all the things I’ve never found together but always hoped for: it’s uncomplicated, uses inclusive language and progressive theology, thoughtful and relevant questions, topics for discussion that aren’t pedantic or watered-down, and is easily accessible for all ages of youth. The material is unproblematic and grounded in reformed theology, and the graphic storyboards were just the icing on the cake. We have a small, blended youth group (grades 6–12), and all of them were able to participate and engage easily.

      “This is the youth curriculum that progressive churches, youth leaders, and pastors have been waiting so long for. I know there is more to come, and I can’t wait. It has made my job so much easier and given me peace of mind as a pastor that I can give it to my leaders and my youth, and I’m not going to have to go back and undo the lesson or completely edit it to make it workable for our context.

      “Throughout my 20+ year career in youth ministry, I’ve never been willing to openly champion a youth curriculum, but I’m glad that’s not the case anymore. I would recommend this to any youth leader, especially those with smaller youth groups with a wider range of ages.”
