Six Sessions
PARTICIPANTS GUIDE
Believing in God but Living as If He Doesnt Exist
The Christian Atheist video curriculum is designed to be experienced in a group setting such as a Bible study, Sunday school class, or any small group gathering. To ensure everyone has enough time to participate in discussions, it is recommended that large groups break up into smaller groups of four to six people each.
Each participant should have his or her own Participants Guide, which includes video outline notes, directions for activities, and discussion questions, as well as a reading plan and personal studies to deepen learning between sessions. Although the course can be fully experienced with just the video and Participants Guide, participants are also encouraged to have a copy of The Christian Atheist book. Reading the book alongside the video curriculum provides even deeper insights that make the journey richer and more meaningful.
The time notations for example (17 minutes) indicate the actual time of video segments and the suggested times for each activity or discussion. For example:
| Individual Activity | Three Things to Remember (3 Minutes) |
Adhering to the suggested times will enable you to complete each session in one hour. If you have additional time, you may wish to allow more time for discussion and activities.
Each group should appoint a facilitator who is responsible for starting the video and for keeping track of time during discussions and activities. Facilitators may also read questions aloud and monitor discussions, prompting participants to respond and assuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate.
Maximize the impact of the course with additional study between group sessions. Setting aside about an hour for personal study will enable you to complete the book and between-session studies by the end of the course. For each session, you may wish to complete the personal study all in one sitting or to spread it out over a few days.
