Life Matters
Why don’t young adults like Sunday School?
Actually, they do. What they don’t like is a lecture about what the Bible says. What they want is LifeMatters—solid Bible study connected to real life.
Here’s how:
- Three personal Bible study readings designed to introduce the study and get young adults engaged in studying the passages for the upcoming lesson
- In-class discussion guides that start a talkfest revolving around and stemming from the Word
- Application sections aimed at moving biblical truths from the lesson into real life
- Connect ideas that create opportunities and practical ways to extend the lesson beyond Sunday School and into the rest of life
- Connect as a Couple options that help couples apply those same truths to their relationship
We know leaders might be more comfortable teaching in a lecture style, but young adults will get more from interactive teaching styles. We help you make that jump with a discussion-driven format that is easy to teach.
Here’s how:
- Interactive teaching plans—gone are the days of lectures and leading from the front of the class
- Discussion—driven plans mean that most of the content will come from the people in the class
- You’ll do more conversation steering—we’ll help you set the direction
- We’ll lead you—you can’t lead where you haven’t gone yourself, so we offer leaders a personal study that helps you prepare for the discussion time
- Extras in the sidebar—tips, media suggestions and more

Do You Feel Trapped on Tempation Island?
Remember the Fox reality show Temptation Island? The show’s premise was to place several couples and a group of singles (all disgustingly attractive) on an island in tropical paradise, in order to test the strength of their relationships. Sounds “realistic,” right?
Take Notes From Fido
I’m generally not a dog-lover, but there’s a lot we can learn from “man’s best friend” when it comes to loyalty. One thing I often observe from those who love their dogs is that they seem to find a genuine companionship or trust that’s different from human relationships. Maybe it’s because you can tell your dog those deepest, darkest secrets, knowing he will never tell (unless your dog is the Bush’s baked beans dog, and then the secret’s out). Or maybe it’s because no matter how disloyal you are toward your dog, he will always come when you call, wagging his tail in excitement to see his master.
