60 Second: Boosting Bible Engagement

60 Second Hint/Help: Boosting Bible Engagement. Want students to not just hear the Bible—but hunger for it? Here are quick tips to help Scripture come alive during your lessons:
1. Open It Together. Don’t just quote verses—have students see it for themselves. Use physical Bibles or Bible apps and guide them to the passage.
2. Set the Scene. Give quick context. Who’s talking? What’s going on? A little background brings big clarity.
3. Ask Curious Questions. Move beyond “What does this mean?” Try: “What surprises you here?” or “What would you do in their shoes?”
4. Invite Interaction. Highlight, underline, draw symbols, and journal. Help them interact with the text, not just hear it.
5. Make It Personal. Connect the verse to real life. “What might God be saying to you through this today?”
Pro Tip: When you love the Word, they’ll notice—and want to know why.
