On Saturday night of the Nexus 2017 conference on April 7-9 in Stamford, Connecticut, students unleashed SpokenWord. In a high-voltage contest of memory and expression, teams (of up to four students) dramatized biblical passages from one or many sources in the New and/or Old Testaments. This is not simply a Bible memorization contest. These students bring Scripture to life with energy, creativity, and drama.
