A Bible Study for the Teenage Heart Nicole Johnson

This is a Bible study for teenagers. It can be used individually to give to a teenager you know to cover a multitude of topics such as school, church, relationships, bullying, suicide, hope, etc. It would be a great study for small groups, youth groups, youth camps or for parents to lead a small group with other parents and their teenagers. However you feel comfortable covering the material. The message is to find a Biblical way to help you as a parent or teenager with everyday issues that teenagers face. There are 27 lessons to move through at whichever pace works for your group. Note from the author: This is a Bible study for teenagers, but I hope everyone who participates, including the leader, will find this study helpful and that you discover something about yourself that needs to be healed. Most importantly, I hope all who read and participate in this study find the healing they desire. This study was designed to be as interactive as you wish. Parents, if you have a great relationship with your teenager, ask them to participate in this study with you so that you can find a deeper connection. [I define parents as anyone actively involved in the child's life.] Teenager, if you do not have a parent to participate in this study with you or maybe you think you want to explore on your own initially, I strongly encourage you to find a mentor or a teenage friend to go on this journey with you. This will hold you accountable to deeply dive into all of the hard areas in your life that I'm going to ask you to remember and write down and it will help you to have someone to encourage you to be bold while you do it. As I mentioned earlier in my introduction, I waited 35 years to tell ANYONE I was sexually abused because I did not want my parents or my aunt to feel bad. It also took me quite a long time to understand that what happened was completely no fault of mine. But the relief I found when I uttered the words aloud was such a freedom I cannot describe. I am praying for that freedom for you in all aspects of your life. There are 27 lessons but feel free to move through this as quick or as slow as you like. It is split up into different lessons that you can read and work through daily, weekly or power through it and come back to your answers to pray and grow and heal
