Four-Part Discussion Series based on Made To Thrive
Four-Part Discussion Series based on Made To Thrive
IMG_6568.movThe four sessions below were designed to help students engage more deeply with the good news of Jesus. Each session incorporates experiential learning opportunities, discussion and reflection. They were created with unbelievers or seekers in mind but could work well for believing students.
What you need to know: The facilitator should be prepared to guide the discussion and give prompts for reflection time, discussion groups, etc. Each participant will have a copy of the session, so have people take turns reading the Scripture verses or the other content.
Besides the printed sessions, you may want to have some pens/pencils on hand. At least one of the sessions and most of the bonus content contain videos you will want to show to the entire group. After you finish session one, please have everyone complete this feedback form. We value every piece of feedback. If you prefer, you can download all four sessions in one PDF.

Made To Thrive Over Multiple Conversations
The content of Made To Thrive can easily be used over multiple conversations. Since its design is for a conversation, the open ended questions allow the listener to discern where the conversation needs to go next. For example:
Do they have questions about God, or the Bible? Some students in our test group didn't understand the Bible verses or even know that they came from the Bible. They just looked like quotes to them. Use the info icon (yellow circle with a "?" inside) to jump to additional content to read and discuss together.
The question at the bottom of the screen LIFE IS NOT THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED seeks to reveal what they may know about God and why choosing our own way is such a big deal. The next screen talks about this idea and includes an info icon that links to content about who the God of the Bible is and what his character is.
What are their thoughts about Jesus? One student we encountered in our testing had no idea how Jesus could be God's Son and also God. Use the info icon on RECONNECTING WITH GOD to read and discuss John 1. Watch the Bible Project video and discuss.
These are just a few suggestions. See below for some thoughts on using the content for a four-week Bible study.
