Outside of the Box Bible exercises

Playful. Thoughtful. Surprisingly profound.

The Bible isn’t a dusty old book — it’s alive. Every time we read it, something different can jump out at us. Sure, there are loads of great books out there on how to read and understand Scripture, and many of them are well worth your time.

But this page isn’t about theory. It’s about imagination.

Here you’ll find a collection of creative Bible study methods — each with a slightly off-the-wall approach designed to help you see Scripture with fresh eyes. They’re playful on the surface, but they can dig deep when you let them.

They’re perfect for:

  • Your own quiet time
  • Small groups or home groups
  • Pondering Scripture with friends over a pint

Expect to be asked questions like:

  • “How would Hollywood ruin this story?”
  • “What would John the Baptist post on Instagram?”

Give them a go. The Bible has more in it than we often realise — and sometimes the best way to hear it clearly is to come at it sideways.
