How to start and lead a Bible study using the Discover 4 Yourself Inductive Bible Studies for Kids.

We have known for a while, but I suspect we just did not want to admit it, that most of the youth sitting in your church will be gone the first chance they get. When they get their driver’s license, they leave the church. Why? Well, actually the problem started much earlier, when they were kids. When we teach children Bible stories and not the Bible, they grow up understanding the Bible is a story book but not really relevant. As older teens and young adults their lives are busy and complicated. Stories just seem to have no place in the real world. When we teach them to study the Bible, they encounter the living Word and the living God of the Word. They grow up knowing the relevant God who changes lives. The differences are important. The Discover 4 Yourself Inductive Bible Studies for Kids Series are designed to help you do just that, teach kids how to study the Word. Known around Precept by the acronym D4Y, this series is designed to challenge young minds with the Truth of God’s Word. D4Y teaches children good principles of study which enhance both spiritual life and academic studies. D4Y is ideal for students 8-12 years old, in small group studies, homeschool classrooms, family studies, and personal Christian growth. This week our special guest will be Marta Latham. Marta has been teaching children for over 20 years, and you will not meet anyone with more passion for teaching children the Bible and not just stories about the Bible. Marta knows the D4Y series intimately and has used it from its inception to train kids. You do not want to miss this program! Marta’s passion is contagious and you may learn things about children you never dreamed of. Join our host David Lawson as we explore ways to start and lead Discover 4 Yourself Bible studies.
