Awana: 5 Ways to Get Kids Engaged in Interactive Bible Teaching
Our kids get most of their information through viral videos and addictive apps like TikTok. So as ministry leaders, how do we keep up with that — keep them every bit as engaged with the message of the Word as they are with the messages of the world? Kids today are being fed an influx of ideas leading them in the opposite direction of the Bible. But research shows that if we can help them develop a strong understanding of the Bible in these early years — by age 13 — they're more likely to make a decision to follow Christ and stick with their faith, even after high school. This breakout reveals five key ways we can develop strong, biblical values in the next generation and plant seeds for lifelong faith.

Small Circle: To Create a Disciple-Making Culture, We've Got to Get Everyday People in the Game...and Here's How To
The disciple-making challenge of the Great Commission has no exemptions—every Christ follower is included. But how do we make this a reality in our local church where Truck Driver Ted and Soccer Mom Sally, everyday people, are confident to make disciples? The responsibility falls to leaders to equip—that is, to provide equipment. The only way to create a culture of disciple making in your local church is if you have a strategy that includes Ted and Sally, everyday people. This session provides real tools (printed and mobile app) specifically designed for the everyday person to be involved in disciple-making at an in-depth level. The great thing is that you can download these tools at no charge and you'll be equipped to launch them right away.

Women of Renew.org: Helping Women Step into Scripture (Part 2)
As we step into Scripture, we find Old Testament shadows alluding to New Testament realities and old covenant truths holding up new covenant promises. Whenever a text is cryptic or concealed—whether in the Pentateuch, the Prophets, the Parables, or the Apocalypse, we can look to the neighboring testament for clarity and revelation. These connections across books and testaments expose the overarching story that God is writing through his Creation—to transform us so that we don't just bear his image, but we also reflect his glory.
