Hey incredible small group leaders! I am more excited than ever about teaching our youth about sexual purity. After several years of teaching youth about purity... I have a few new ideas that I think will help us do a better job than ever. I have created this blog to help get the lessons out to everyone in an effective manner. But more importantly, it will provide an opportunity for everyone to contribute by posting your ideas, small group discussion questions and more by posting comments. The more everyone contributes, the more each small group DISCUSSION FACILLITATOR will have to pull from. Again, let me remind you that the goal of someone leading a small group is to lead a DISCUSSION not preach a sermon or teach a lesson. So perhaps your greatest contribution is to help come up with effective "Open-Ended Questions." I have included an mp3 attachment about the difference between open ended questiosn and close ended questions the might help you become a better discussion leader. It is awesome when you see youth come up with truth and see it first for themselves and then talk about it. You will know they have learned something when they are actually talking about it and can explain it. Looking forward to awesome 6 weeks. May the Lord fill you with his Spirit and give you the supernatural ability to help you be set free by the truth!

With a Bible study the questions should lead members to DISCOVER TRUTH and DISCLOSE HOW TO APPLY that truth to their lives.

Awesome, Dwayne!
I do like the fact that we all can take ownership and contribute to making these lessons an incredible tool to help us Youth Home Leaders and Youth leaders!
Are there Topics or 'Titles' for the next 5 weeks for these series?
This is so I can create a brochure/flier for our youth - To give them a heads up on what's coming up next.
Thanks Dwayne.
