Leader's Guides

These in-depth Guides walk you through every step of facilitating a great experience. You'll get:

  • Discussion Outlines: learn by interacting with each other and the text instead listening passively to teaching videos. Everyone is engaged and contributing from the very start.
  • Stimulating Questions (over 200!) from a master coach who has taught asking skills for 25 years.
  • Setting Videos shot on-site in Israel help you visualize where it happened in only a few minutes.
  • Daily Texts (short factoids about the story) keep people’s heads in the study all week without assigning homework. And it’s free!
  • Visual Narratives (with extensive footnotes) tell the story of each passage through a character’s eyes.

How it Works

How to Read the Bible Like a Human Being currently offers four complete 12-16 week Bible studies on the Gospel of Mark. In this video, Tony explains the goal of these studies (to get to know Jesus the person!), the tools we use, and introduces you to the process you'll go through as you do each study.

Setting Videos

We spent three months in Israel creating short, three-to-five minute videos for each passage--watch one here. They show fascinating details like the actual house Peter lived in, animated maps of Jesus' journeys to Jerusalem, what synagogues looked like back then, and more!

15 Facts Texting App

Bible studies are richer if people think about them during the week--but nobody likes to do homework! So we've created a homework-free way to keep everyone's head in the game: our 15 Facts texting app. Simply text to join, and every weekday you'll receive a short text with a thought-provoking fact or question about the passage you are studying. It's free for everyone with a Workbook!
