The Biscuit Trail
The Biscuit Trail came out of our experiences in having conversations about faith with friends and colleagues. It is designed to help those conversations come more naturally and easily.
You wouldn’t force a whole packet of biscuits in someone’s mouth; you would offer them one biscuit at a time. We would like to think the same principle applies when it comes to sharing your faith.
The Biscuit Trail is a set of 12 colourful cards that describe the different things involved in helping someone discover Jesus The cards cover things such as:
- praying for people
- showing how Jesus is relevant to life
- living a life that demands explanation
- sharing your story
- finding out someone’s perception of Jesus
…and more.
It’s for Christians who want help in thinking through what they could do (and perhaps are already doing) to help others discover Jesus for the first time.
The cards help group discussion around:
- what order you might try different elements with someone
- how to go about each element
- which ones you feel comfortable with
- which you find harder
- what you’ve learnt from past experience
- what you might like to try
Each card has something to Prepare, a Bible passage to Reflect on, suggestions of what to Try, and something to Consider regarding our posture towards our friends who do not follow Jesus.
They enable Christians to recognise the value of what they are already doing, share their experiences with one another, identify where they have more to learn, and discover a few practical ideas for what they could do next.
The use of cards makes it easy to focus on the different elements in whatever order is appropriate for the group. This makes it very flexible and enables the users to focus on the elements that are most helpful to them.
The Biscuit Trail was originally created to encourage Christians to take steps to help their work colleagues discover Jesus. However, the principles and approach apply much more widely so it has been adapted to suit anyone keen to grow in this, university students, school pupils and people in the workplace and community.
“We’ve found the Biscuit Trail has been really good for giving Christians a vision for helping people in their sphere of influence discover Jesus.”
“It’s such a helpful discipleship tool for having a conversation about making disciples. And the examples of ways to carry on the journey with people are really handy too.”
