Descrizione
Our inherent value and worth comes from God's love for us, but our modern world is filled with sexual expression that too often leads us away from the life of Christ. As Christians seeking to live a life worthy of our calling and desiring to pass along these values to our children and youth, this book explores how we (as parents and adults) can explore issues of sexuality in the context of our faith. A sexuality education resource from a mainline/progressive denominational prospective aids the adult reader/teacher/parent in learning and using skills that enable them to embrace and affirm the wholeness of sexuality and to talk openly and honestly about the connection of sexuality and faith. This book, grounded from a theological perspective, focuses on foundational issues for addressing how we (and why we) are called to have these conversations in a faithful community to support families. The importance of looking at one's sexuality throughout the lifespan through the lenses of decision making, faith and daily life, respect, growth and change, behavior, responsibility, values, prayer, and intentionality is be explored, offering a grounding as well as stand-alone resource for individuals and churches to build upon. SESSION 1: You are GOD'S CREATION (Genesis 1:1–31; Galatians 5:22–23) SESSION 2: You are COMPLEX (Psalm 139: 13–14) SESSION 3: You are ACCEPTED (Genesis 1:27) SESSION 4: You are RELATIONAL (Part 1) (John 15:13; 1 Corinthians 13:4–7; 1 Samuel 18:1–5; 20:1–42) SESSION 5: You are RELATIONAL (Part 2) (Ruth 1:8–17) SESSION 6: You are RESPONSIBLE (Ephesians 4:1–3) SESSION 7: You are KNOWLEDGEABLE (Proverbs 2:10–11) SESSION 8: You are CONNECTED (1 Kings 19:11–12) SESSION 9: You are EMPOWERED (Philippians 2:2–5) SESSION 10: You are THOUGHTFUL (Romans 12:2) Each of the 10 sessions has five parts that work together to create a hands-on interactive approach to learning: GATHER, GAME, GRAPPLE, GUIDE, and GO. The parts offer creative and playful activities to engage the material and participants in ways that provide intentional group formation, time to wrestle with new material, words of blessing and affirmation, and time to move from the sessions back into the world. The Facilitator leads each session with the help of Small-Group Leaders who facilitate the games, activities, and discussions.
