Welcome to the Bible805 Academy!
As part of the ministry of Bible805, in addition to helping you know, trust, and apply the Bible, I want to help you TEACH the Bible.
For those who want to teach, I created this site especially for people from small churches, church plants, churches, or groups anywhere in the world who don’t have the time to research and prepare lessons, who want to modify lessons for their group beyond what most prepared lessons allow, and for who have limited resources in time and money.
Here you can find the teaching resources you need (including PowerPoints, videos, podcasts, notes, questions, infographics that explain difficult concepts) that you can simply use as is or you can modify. You do not have to credit or acknowledge me—just get the Word out there!
The materials here result from decades of study and teaching Bible classes by me, Yvon Prehn, and have helped many people grow in their Christian lives and as disciples of Jesus. I’m offering them to you with the prayer they might be useful either in your in-depth study or to enable you to teach the Bible.
The materials are all offered FREE or pay-what-you’d-like and I strongly welcome you to please use them for FREE. I want more than anything to equip many people to teach the Bible.
God has given me both the academic and experiential background to put together these materials including an MA in history majoring in the history of the church, additional graduate work at seminary and in communications, plus decades of teaching Bible classes in person and online.
Check out the collections of lessons or individual lessons below—they are all here to help you know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible.

About Me, Yvon Prehn creator of the lessons
For much of my life I’ve taught the Bible, starting with teaching kindergartners in Sunday School class when I was in third grade, to working with youth groups, teaching adult Bible classes, and working briefly as an associate professor of church history.
I continue to teach a weekly adult Bible class at my church and am now producing the Bible805 website, podcast, and video channels along with the Bible805 Academy, to make my teaching resources available for others to use in any way they wish to help others get to know, trust, and apply the Bible.
You can use these materials as is and in addition, I make available my original PowerPoint files, notes, questions, and other resources for YOU to use in your teaching and to modify as you like. You do not have to acknowledge or credit me for the materials.
