Lesson 1 of 11: The Bible

DISCUSSION PROMPTS FOR MENTORS

These are only suggestions. The idea is to discuss the Bible and its role in the faith.

• Have both the student and mentor share their favorite Scripture verse or Bible story?

• How do you approach Scriptures that are confusing or difficult? Where do you go for help?

• There are many types of literature in the Bible. Nonetheless, is it helpful to think of the Bible as an overarching story? Why or why not?
