Many teens express feelings of dread when they realize how many books are covered in the upcoming Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon (GEPCP) quiz season. “Five books?! Those “Book and Chapter” questions are going to be really hard!”

Seriously? That’s a lot of angst and unnecessary worry because of one question in a game.

Instead, quizzers should be excited to quiz on Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. These 5 books contain only 528 verses to study. That makes GEPCP the second-shortest in terms of total verses compared to other quiz seasons. Hebrews, 1 & 2 Peter has the fewest verses with 469. Next year’s Luke has the most with 1,151! Compared to last season’s Acts, GEPCP has 48% fewer verses and 56% fewer total words to read! That’s just about half!

Studying memory verses is the epitome of Teen Bible Quizzing: learning God’s Word. And as a faithful reader of this blog, you already know that quizzers who commit to learning the memory verses perform exceedingly well in competition. So if you were considering learning memory verses, this is one of the best quiz seasons to do so. Don’t pass it up! Here's why:

My opinion is that it is better to be proactive and change on your terms rather than be reactive and hastily make changes because something is broken.

Fortunately, the state of Teen Bible Quizzing – and Nazarene Teen Bible Quizzing in particular – is by no means broken. It is extremely fun to play and exciting to watch! But have you ever asked yourself, “Self, what would I change about Teen Bible Quizzing to make this wonderful ministry even better?” Obviously I have. I even came up with a concise, 3-bullet point answer perfectly formatted for quick consumption as a blog post (what a coincidence!):
