As some of you know, I’m heading up the daily email Bible studies for Xtreme Youth Alliance, Bill Scott’s new ministry. The ministry just launched a couple weeks ago, so it’s still pretty new, but teenagers are signing up for the Bible studies every day. The part I love most is that my own youth group students (both present and former) are writing the lessons for their peers and they’re doing an outstanding job!
Bill Scott is also podcasting Bible studies every day so students can listen to the Word on the bus, working out at the gym, riding their bike or whenever else they listen to their iPods.

The resource part of all this is that you can post links to these Bible studies on your youth group’s website as an extra encouragement for them to stay in the Word on a daily basis. For example, here’s what I did with my own youth group’s site.
Better yet, here’s the code you need to integrate these daily Bible study tools directly into your youth group’s website, MySpace or whatever else you use.
For the EMAIL BIBLE STUDY sign-up box that looks like this:
