Race Relations. Climate Change. Sexuality.

What do these issues have in common? They can be divisive and are sure to inspire passionate opinions. But they are also important and impact our world greatly. Should the church avoid them at all costs? No, the Bible actually has a lot to say about these issues.

This 6-session study will help students learn how to think biblically about these topics and more. In this ever-changing world, biblical truth is rapidly being swallowed up. Students need to be equipped with tools to help them lovingly and kindly engage in conversations about difficult topics. This study will help students address these and other cultural issues with clarity and boldness. 

Features:

  • Interactive teaching videos featuring author Sean McDowell; approximately 6-8 minutes for each session
  • Leader Guide in the back of the Bible study book to guide questions and discussion with small groups
  • Personal study segments to complete between group sessions
  • Biblically rooted and gospel-centered
  • Six small-group sessions
  • Personal-study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth
  • Promotional video and other free leader resources available at lifeway.com/thinkbiblically

Benefits:

  • Learn to see through the cultural noise and discover how Jesus would respond.
  • Choose to stand up for real justice.
  • Gain clarity on what biblical justice means and how to understand it.
  • Care about poverty and racism with a heart of kindness and in a way that helps people.
  • Learn how to live out a Christian worldview when it comes to tough issues that seem to be dividing the church more than ever.
*Additional purchase of the video teaching sessions is recommended for the best experience of this Bible study book.
