About a year ago many of you shared your ideas for naming a new international youth ministry by my friend Bill Scott (founder of the former radio ministry, Zjam). His new ministry, Xtreme Youth Alliance, is taking off all over the country, both on the radio and online.

Xtreme Bible Study Facebook App
Earlier this week I finished building a Facebook application for them that displays a new teen Bible study on Facebook profiles every day. It also shows up in the left sidebar in Facebook so every day when your kids login they can start with a fresh look at God’s Word. Check out the application and, if you like it, use the app’s Invite link to share it with your students.


Add the Xtreme Bible Study Facebook App

Xtreme Bible Study RSS Feed
Here’s the RSS feed that the Xtreme Bible Study app reads to get the new studies, in case you’d rather subscribe in your RSS reader: http://feeds.feedburner.com/xtremebiblestudy

Xtreme Bible Study Podcast
Also check out their daily 3-minute Xtreme Bible Study Podcast in iTunes. Teens can sync the Bible study with their iPods to listen to short daily Bible studies while riding the bus, working out in the gym, riding their bikes, etc.

Between Facebook and iPods, there’s seriously no way to make the Word of God more easily accessible to teens through mediums they actually use.

If you find these tools to be valuable. feel free to add the links to your youth group website, like I did.

Check out this page if you’d like me to build a Facebook application for your youth ministry.
