From off-brand cereals to knock-off luxury items, we know that anything of value probably has a counterfeit version floating around out there. The same is true for our faith. Maybe copying the behaviors of other believers was a great place to start your faith journey. How can we move beyond copying Christians to actually following Jesus? The difference between a counterfeit faith and an authentic faith is growth and heart change. And we’ll discover that God can use just about anything to help us grow a faith of our own.
For the next several weeks it’s all about growing in faith.

The goal of this week’s conversation isn’t to give students a list of dos and don’ts or rights and wrongs when it comes to faith. Instead, it’s to remind them consistently and repeatedly that no matter what they feel or have been told, with God and with their small group they belong.

Bottom Line: Our biggest questions deserve better answers.

This week students see that they belong “here”and to work toward making their small group a place
where everyone feels like they belong.

Between the news, social media, and relationships with different people, high school students can discover a million different definitions of what it means to be a Christian. But sometimes that also means if they don’t fit in a certain box they can wonder if following Jesus is for them. We’ll discuss what it looks like to follow Jesus, help students differentiate between aesthetic preferences, cultural practices, and behavior modification versus believing in, following after, and being in a relationship with Jesus.

September 12, 2021 we will challenge middle school students to think about big questions about following Jesus, and to help them take one step toward following Jesus with their lives.
