“Pastors are tired” has been a recent headline in several ministry communications. When I read it, I had two conflicting thoughts that I’ll share. Be warned, the first is a bit grumpy, but it is followed by what I hope is a compassionate and helpful resource (stick around for that, it’s worth it). [Read more…]
A Free or PWYW (pay-what-you-want) resource of teaching materials. In it you will find ad-free videos, podcasts, editable PowerPoints, transcript/notes, discussion questions, and if applicable charts.
There are dozens of lessons that cover various aspects of why we can trust the Bible, how we got it, and lessons on each book of the Bible.
The Academy was designed as a resource for busy pastors, teachers, and lay people who don't have the time to do the in-depth research and writing that the decades of study and teaching experience that the Lord has given me. These materials are my humble offering to the Body of Christ to help people know, trust, apply, and teach the bible.
For more on the Academy and updates that will inform you about additional materials to help you know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible, sign up HERE for the Bible805 Newsletter, The Lion's Voice.
For missionaries, small church leaders, anyone else with limited time to study–please pass along these FREE resources for teaching the Bible
It takes a tremendous amount of time to study and prepare lessons to teach the Bible. For pastors, and particularly missionaries and leaders of small churches, who must also do administrative, counseling, and financial tasks, carving out time to study is difficult.
With these groups in mind, I’ve made all the resources of the Bible805 Academy (www.Bible805Academy.com) FREE or PWYW (pay-what-you-want), though I strongly encourage people to simply download them for free and there is no other obligation. [Read more…]
Make the Bible805 Academy Lessons Your Own! How to edit the PowerPoints
Please note: EVERYTHING on the Bible805 Academy is FREE or PWYW (pay-what-you-want). I used to charge in the past, but no longer do, so if you see something that says there is a charge, just ignore it–ALL IS FREE and many, many people from around the world have taken advantage of this–that’s why it was created and I pray many more will use the materials also!
The Bible805 Academy was created so that YOU can have the resources needed to teach the Bible and this video shows you one way to do that. To help you teach in whatever way works for you, the Bible805 Academy (https://www.Bible805Academy.com) has the video and audio versions of the lesson without ads or distractions, plus the original PowerPoint files that you can edit, plus notes, questions, and infographics that go with the various lessons. Following is a video that shows you briefly how to edit the PowerPoints. Below it more information on how to make the materials your own.
You can also remove my name from the lessons. I do not need you to credit me–my goal is to give you quality, well-researched, and tested resources to help you teach the Word of God.
Bible805 Academy, a complete collection of resources to help you teach the Bible — now all the materials available are FREE or PWYW (pay what you want)
In addition to helping you know, trust, and apply the Bible, I want to help you TEACH the Bible, so I created the Bible805 Academy. In short, the Academy will give you everything you need to teach the lessons I’ve taught you on the Bible805 website, podcasts, and videos. Following is a brief video introduction and below the video, more explanatory material.—
I created the Bible805 Academy, especially for people from small churches, church plants, churches, or groups that don’t have money or access to Bible teaching materials or the time to create their own. To make that even more possible I recently made the entire Academy materials FREE or PWYW (pay-what-you-want). [Read more…]
