Courageous Identity

Description

Who is God? How do I handle my anxiety? How do I study the Bible? Who am I? Every day, our teenagers are confronted by these and many other questions, including those that attack their self-worth and their identity. There is a whole life being laid out in front of our teenagers, and as parents, we want our students to be equipped to navigate the life God intends for them. Certified Mental Health Coach Angela O’Dell addresses the multifaceted needs of teens today and their spiritual, physical, and mental health by asking them three vital questions: Who is God? Who am I? What is my purpose?

This 36-week study has students working directly from their Student Worktext, where they will document, answer, think out, and engage with scripture and what they believe. There is plenty of room in the book itself for students to document their understanding. More prolific writers may benefit from a dedicated journal to process the materials. The Parent’s Guide is a resource for parents to use to pray for their kids as they work through this study. QR codes are included in both the Parent’s Guide and Student Worktext for additional resources, audio, and videos. Also provided are summaries of each unit. There are occasional ‘do this with your student’ sections that become a bit more hands-on, but this study is very student-independent and self-discovery-focused.

The goal of this study is to equip teens with a strong and courageous identity. That they know and are known by God. How critical to guide the next generation to step boldly into being Joshua 1:9 teens. ~Rebecca
