WHAT IS BIBLE JEOPARDY?

A while ago my roommate came across a link for Bible Jeopardy on Instagram.  We are both HUGE Jeopardy fans so we downloaded it and made it part of our Family Worship Night one night and had SUCH a good time.  Since then I've played it with my sister and brother-in-law and recently, with some friends from my congregation.

I invited a very hospitable family, the Gonzales, over along with a couple brothers who are alone in the truth, and I made my first lasagna ever!  No, really, I'm super proud of myself.  I made my own ricotta cheese AND homemade marinara sauce.  We ate way too much then we divided into teams, I pretended to be Alex Trebek, and we played an intense game of Bible Jeopardy.  I think all the testosterone made it so intense...then again that was a nice change in our house :)

The great part about the game is that it comes with pre-made categories and answers, but you can customize it.  For instance, I made one in Spanish.  There's an American (I think) brother who created it and you just email him and he'll send you the game and directions on how to download and play.  Here's his email:  jwservicepictures@gmail.com

  1. What a fun night! And a fun game to play with some friends! Thanks for this post Shawn! That's a great idea, I'm glad you shared his email, because I plan to email him and invite some friends over to play!

    I hope all is well in your new congregation and you're loving it. Shelina mentioned you switched congregations a while back.
    Thanks always for the encouraging posts!
