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 six sessions tackle the following tough questions: Is it wrong to doubt God? Is hell real? How could God send someone there? Can I do something so bad God won't forgive me? Why do bad things happen to good people? Is sex outside marriage wrong? Why is it so awkward to talk about Jesus with my friends.…

And we have good news. First, other teenagers and adults ask these kinds of questions all the time. Second, it's not only okay to ask hard questions, but it's actually important-some say essential-for your faith journey. And finally, God can handle it. God isn't anxious about your questions, struggles, or doubts. We don't think you should be either.
Designed for use in small groups alongside the Can I Ask That Leader 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? And, How can I follow a God who would let Christians do such bad things?
Whether you've never asked these questions before or you've been aching for the chance, this guide is meant to be a starting point for each conversation.
Ready? Go ahead. You can ask that.

Review
If one of your primary concerns as a youth leader is to equip the young people from your community to continue their faith pursuit long after they graduate, I heartily endorse Can I Ask That? Your leaders will appreciate this study as much as your students, if not more. It's a breath of fresh air. - Dan Gannon, City Church of San Francisco
Can I Ask That? provides a platform for conversation around subjects that students experience but often do not feel comfortable talking about. This curriculum presented a conversational tool to our students, not just cut-and-dried answers. - Chris Hill, First Presbyterian Church of Boulder
"As my friends wrote this book, they intentionally did and didn't do a few important things. First, they didn't shy away from the real questions. Second, they didn't over-simplify the answers into neat little packages. They allow us to live in tension of a real faith. Third, they support us as parents, youth workers, and shepherds of our youth's souls. Lastly, they offer hope for a lifetime of following Jesus Christ. I'm so thankful for resources like this rooted in research ... and love." - April L. Diaz, NewSong Church
