So you think you can handle it, eh?
I've lead Bible studies with PhD students, and I've read one-to-one with a managing director of a company, and I've told Bible stories to under-5s*...
So tell me, why am I utterly terrified to be leading a Bible study for teenagers tomorrow evening?
Maybe because God will decide tomorrow that BK could do with a huge helping of humility...
To be fair, I am excited too!
*If you thought PhD students asked hard questions, I'm sorry, you got it backwards...
UPDATE Saturday 17/10: Well I had a real blast! My group were a little quiet and shy understandably but we were definitely looking into the Word and having loads of fun by the end of it. I liked them, and for my sake, they pretended they liked me. :) Especially gratifying to hear them articulate the main points of the study and especially what Jesus had done when our youth co-ordinator got every group to review what they've learnt at the end. Alongside reindeers, murdering basketball players, and "The Shirt"....
