What if there’s really a book that’s alive? What if the words are living and active? What exactly are the pages doing? What’s in there? We want to take a look inside this book called the Bible. Like dissecting a frog in school, it’s going to be a bit scary, a little disgusting, amazing, very revealing, and you’re going to learn a lot! Also, warning, you’re going to see things you can’t unsee.

Not So Boring Bible Guts is a collection of our resources put together to look at what’s inside the Bible. This material can be used in small groups, men’s groups, women’s groups, Sunday school, it’s just good old fashion Bible fun for the whole family! (And you’re probably wondering what Not So Boring Bible believes, so here’s our statement of faith.)

While these pages wrestle with major theological issues, our goal is to examine the complexities of the Biblical text in fun pages using games and activities anyone can do. We want to expose people to a Biblical worldview and give them a look into the spiritual realm. You might not be comfortable in this study, the material is simple, but challenging, and you will probably have more questions than answers in the end. So, let’s examine the Bible, see how much we know, see how much we believe, and test our faith. Here are the guts!

The study links below take you to different parts of Not So Boring Bible. The weeks consist of a single trivia question to get you started (quiz yourself all you want, but you don’t have to keep clicking through more trivia questions) and also includes links to various questionnaires, charts, pages, crafts, and coloring pages. The content is labeled to help you know what type it is. This material was made for discussion and wrestling, so wrestle with it amongst friends!
