Hard Questions: Examining gender, sexuality, and identity through a Gospel lens - Digital Curriculum

On any short list of today’s hot-button cultural issues, gender identity and sexual orientation are certainly right at the top. Even within the Church, these topics often lead to concern, confusion, and conflict—especially when younger generations are part of the conversation.

This four-session youth curriculum prepares your students to answer questions about LGBTQ topics using a biblical framework. It also equips them to engage in conversation with their peers about these issues and to share the Good News of Jesus with others—no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation—in a loving way, wisely balancing conviction and compassion. Includes Leader Guide, FAQs, and PPTs.

 Over the four sessions, you’ll cover:

• Lesson 1: God’s Love Story – Why God’s Word is the standard for everyone.
• Lesson 2: God’s Design – Why life works best when lived according to God’s plan.
• Lesson 3: Love and Truth – How to balance compassion and conviction.
• Lesson 4: True Identity – How the Gospel shapes our identity and how to communicate that truth to others.

 Each 60-minute session includes:

• an object lesson or activity [10 minutes].
• a teaching time, including a Gospel explanation and an invitation to trust in Christ [25 minutes].
• a discussion time and a challenge [25 minutes].
