WHAT IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT?

A resource for church leaders and their churches

The Food for Thought resource empowers you with topics, prompts, questions and conversation-starters about issues that impact our world and how we can respond as Christians. 

​​

HISTORY​

This resource is a result of topics requested by Gen Z's & Millennials (18 - 35 year olds) in Alex's church who wanted to explore world issues through a biblical lens. The aim was to understand God's truth in order to know it, live it and engage in open discussions with non-Christians and fellow believers.

​

PURPOSE

  • To explore issues that affect our modern world and how we can speak the truth in love as Bible-believing Christians

​

THE FORMAT

A general Food for Thought format includes the following: 

  • A message is preached with biblical references, research and theology related to a world issue 

  • After the service, concepts raised in the preached message as well as group-inspired questions are discussed 

  • The facilitator encourages the group to ask and answer questions whilst creating a safe space for all opinions and experiences to be shared

  • By the end of the session, the group shares what they have learnt and where they individually stand with the issue. 

  • The facilitator summarises the conversation and concludes the discussion from a Bible-based perspective

​
