The Presbyterian Outlook - Fresh Outlook: a "rare jewel" for youth workers

Young adults have questions — “Who is the devil?” “What are spiritual practices?” “Who are the badass women of the Bible?” and more. Fresh Outlook Bible Studies introduces each question, examines it from various perspectives, and finally asks, “So what?” Each four-session study is full of compelling stories, interpretive angles, accessible media links, and encouragement to contemplate God’s word maybe for the first time. Learn more Each Fresh Outlook Bible Study includes four sessions. Each session offers the facilitators: Tips for preparation A supply list Suggestions for opening and closing prayers An introduction to the topic at hand and how Christians have understood it Opportunities to “try on” aspects of the topic Key takeaways Suggestions for inviting participants as co-leaders "Fresh Outlook Bible Studies is one of the rare jewels that belongs in the library of everyone who works with youth and young adults. ... Deep attention is given to relevance and honesty, as well as authentic connections to what Scripture teaches us about these challenging topics. The lessons are well-written and easy for leaders to use. ...
