Description

A Film and Faith Leader's Guide: Theme 3 Voicing Faith equips youth pastors and small group leaders to explore the key theme of Voicing Faith in public as presented in the award-winning film. This three-week guide inspires participants to confront fear and complacency even when faced with opposition from the world around them and helps them realize the gift of personal faith. As Chase learns to do in the film, these conversations guide students to witness in a way that strikes a harmonious balance between quiet, humble discipleship and bold, outspoken belief.

This leader's guide is designed for use with Theme 3: Voicing Faith of the related Because of Gr cia Film and Faith Conversation Guide for students, a unique hybrid experience that offers complementary material for small group sessions, as well as daily reflections for students to use throughout the week in "conversation partner" pairs.

The Because of Gr cia curriculum affirms that with God's amazing and empowering grace, young people CAN live in a new way. Take your students on a spiritual journey alongside Gr cia, Chase, and the rest of Eastglenn High as they face life-altering decisions, learning that grace is both the gift of mercy when we fail and our empowerment to live in truth and light.
