YOU Are a Bible Character!
Did you know that YOU are a Bible character? It’s true! Consider this. DiscipleTown Unit 21 contains a lesson with the theme “Pray and Obey.” I want to share with you from the “Connect with Your Kids” element, because I think the information is relevant to your lesson every week, no matter what you may be teaching on Sunday. The lesson is all about sharing your story with your students when you have done yourself what you are asking them to do. It’s all about BEING what you are TEACHING. That makes YOU a “Bible Character.”
It is one thing to tell kids they need to pray and obey. It is entirely another to give them a real world example from someone they know who has done it. Prayerfully reflect on a time in your life when you have needed to “pray and obey,” and then God gave you the power to do the right thing. Share your story. It can have a powerful impact on your students. Don’t underestimate the power of your story on your students.
We often tell Bible stories and forget that these Bible “characters” were just ordinary people like us. They didn’t know their stories would end up in the Bible. They just made choices like you and I have. So, in a sense, your story is as much a Bible story as Joseph or Esther or Ruth or Daniel. And your story will mean as much to your students as those in the Bible. Perhaps more... because your kids actually know you!

Need Help with Your Next Teen Volunteer Training?
 Teen volunteers can be amazing and helpful, but they can also present unique challenges due to their youthful age and lack of experience. Here you will find an editable PowerPoint to use for Teen Training at your church. Also included is a sample of some note taking sheets you can provide.
When it comes to training teenagers, you need to make it fun and engaging – otherwise they will zone out as you droll on about policies and procedures… but they can take their role seriously if you inspire them to do so!
Included is everything you need to hold a Teen Training Volunteer Session to inspire, instruct and instill confidence in your youth volunteers.
