Men's Bible Study DVD
by Carl Caton 

One of the greatest new blessings in small group curriculum is the wide selection of a wide variety of DVD based materials for men's bible studies. DVD based curriculum is a great help to a small group leader as it takes a lot of pressure off the leader to "get everyone on the same page." Typically, when you're starting up a bible study session, you need to "warm up" the group by explaining the topic that you'll be discussing for the day. A lot of times, it takes a significant amount of preparation to be ready to present a topic for five to ten minutes. Having a DVD on hand makes it a no-brainer. Just pop it into the DVD player, hit play, and you're off to a good start.

I've found this to be particularly helpful when you have  a "leader in training," someone you're grooming to become a future leader for the group. Once you've lead the group for a few weeks, go to some of your more capable group members and say, "You could do this... just pop the DVD in, let the guys listen to the introduction, and then start asking questions." I've had a single group multiply into three or more groups using this strategy.

Here is a short list of some outstanding Men's Bible Study DVD courses:

This is a POWERFUL study that helps fathers take on a more strategic fatherhood role as he helps his son navigate the passage into manhood.
