Life for teen moms can feel lonely and discouraging. But Jesus makes new life grow even in the driest places! And if we can get this discipleship thing right, then not only their lives, but the trajectory of whole generations will be impacted. So here it is - 32 small group discipleship lessons for teen moms that not only address the basic disciplines of faith, but also practical ways that faith influences everyday choices. Lessons cover everything from Bible study and prayer to parenting and sexuality, using relevant Bible stories, video clips, fun activities, engaging conversation starters, and printable handouts. Real-life application ideas are suggested here and in the companion journal for participants. Lessons are broken into four categories addressing the four most important connections in a teen mom's life: -Self: growing her relationship with God. -Child: learning to parent well. -Others: developing healthy relationships with parents, friends, and baby daddies. -World: finding her place at church, in school, and in the workplace.With over 150 suggested Internet links and activities and a corresponding journal for participants, there is plenty of variety to keep teen moms engaged and growing throughout the series.-----Since 1991, YoungLives has been walking into the lives of teen moms who have never experienced the real love of Christ, coming alongside them, and helping them to discover who God created them to be. Through time-tested methods including large group gatherings filled with fun and laughter, small group Bible studies, summer camp, and the investment of thousands of caring volunteers into life-on-life mentoring, teen moms are empowered to make positive choices, set and achieve goals, and live a future rooted in Christ. YoungLives is a ministry of Young Life, an international non-profit reaching over 2 million teenagers every year with the message of the Gospel.
