About this title

Synopsis

Teenagers are tired of vague or nonexistent answers to their tough questions about God, the Bible, and Christianity. Just when they're capable of diving into the deep end of their faith, all too often the church keeps them splashing around in shallow waters. As eight years of Sticky Faith research on teenagers has shown, it's not doubt or hard questions that are toxic to faith. It's silence.

The trusted voice of the Fuller Youth Institute and proven best practices from churches around the country converge to provide you with tools both to start conversations about hard questions, as well as to lead students toward discovering their own faith convictions.

Designed for use in small groups alongside the Can I Ask That Student Guide, these eight sessions tackle the following tough questions:

What is the Bible, anyway? 

Why does the Bible contradict itself? 

Can I be a Christian and believe in evolution? 

Does God discriminate against women? 

Is Jesus really the only way to God? 

What does the Bible say about being gay? 

Does God endorse violence? 

How can I follow a God who would let Christians do such bad things?
