What Is Bible Talk?

Bible Talk is a Youth Revival Special!
It's our bible-engagement method designed for youth and young adults to openly discuss how they read and interpret the bible. In this space the participants are given some verses to read as a group, then they're each given the opportunity to share, discuss or question anything they have read.

The idea is for them to share honestly and openly about how they interpret what they read at first glance, which means no judgement, no telling them harshly that they're in correct or putting them down for thinking a certain way. All respectful opinions are valid.

​

Once everyone has shared and spoken, it is great opportunity for the leader to either summarize the verses they read, give some new insights, explain or clarify specific things, or keep those questions as homework for the participants to research in their own time and bring back their findings for the next session. 

​

The idea of this is not necessarily to have all the answers to every question the participants have or to correct things they say wrong, but this method was designed to encourage our youth and young adults to engage in the bible as if they were a child reading it for the first time - questioning it honestly, and seeking answers willingly.
 

Yes, it is a form of bible study, but what separates it from the generic bible study that some groups have is that, often Youth and Young adults, are just told to open the bible, read it, and listen to how you're suppose to interpret it correctly.

But we feel that takes away the purity of seeking God and His Word. Yes, it's important to know how we can properly interpret the Word of God, but if our youth and young adults never learn how to open the bible with pure curiosity of their own accord, then we have created stumbling blocks within their faith journey and we are only encouraging them to receive information, and never to explore the truths around it. Leaving them vulnerable to be deceived by wolves in sheep's clothing.
