The Gospels: Teen Zine vol. 6
The Gospels: Teen Zine vol. 6 invites teens to explore the four Gospels in the Bible. Our ancient text is a living and breathing promise of God. Our goal at StoryMakers is to help teens feel rooted in God’s promises and in his word. What better way to do that than to take a deep dive into the accounts of Jesus’s life and teachings, written by his friends and observers? Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote down what they saw, experienced, and overheard, which makes the Gospels a unique collection of ancient texts highlighting the good news of Christ from four different perspectives. This series is designed to spark curiosity and invite teens to consider how Jesus changed the world and how he makes their lives whole, especially when life feels broken.
The Gospels Issue is three zines in one! It includes three parts, each with four chapters: This gives teens 12 chapters of art, scripture, grounding theological truth, and processing space to reflect on the following themes

A Quick Start Guide for grown-ups accompanies each Teen Zine to support parents, teachers, and youth ministry leaders as they join their teens on this faith adventure.
*Each teen will need their own zine. StoryMakers Teen Zines have space for reflection, note-taking, and doodling. Zines are a place for a teen to express their questions, discoveries, and creativity as they explore the Bible and their faith in God.
