Session 1: God's plan for teens
An overview of how teens differ from children, the role of parents and carers and ‘creating windows’ – a simple tool to help teens see the power of a relationship with God.
Session 2: Tying together truth and experience
As we frame all sorts of experiences for our teens, we can help them make sense of who God is and answer their questions.
Session 3: Connecting to God – prayer
Communication is at the heart of every authentic relationship so our teens need to discover their own voice as they communicate with God and learn to catch his communication too.
Session 4: Unknotting wrong views of God
Teens have multiple voices telling them who God is and, like all of us, they may develop wrong views that affect their relationship with him. We can help them spot and unknot wrong views.
Session 5: Teenagers and church
Getting our teens to engage with church is not just about Sundays. We can show them the fullness of church and help them to engage with it whatever their situation.
Session 6: A godly core of confidence
Teens often struggle with confidence because they are hearing the wrong messages about where confidence comes from. We can proactively help them grow a godly confidence that will set them up for life.
