Connecting Scriptures from the New Testament with everyday life, Jennie talks about the big and small ways they can use their unique gifts, spend time with God, and have fun giving His love away.
When they get stuck in drama, discontentment, sadness, and shame, how can they even begin to look ahead to the future? In this 4-part series, author, Bible teacher, and Founder of IF:Gathering, Jennie Allen, inspires teen girls to throw off everything that holds them back and be energized by God's dreams for them.
It was an easy question to answer when they were little, but life gets complicated for teen girls. In this study, we will seek to uncover and submit to, in Scripture, God’s design for men and women. This tells us that God has a design for us, including our gender. At the heart of the Christian faith is the belief that God created all things and that He is good. Despite our culture’s many faceted ideas and designs about gender, there is only one design that truly matters and takes precedent, God’s. If there was ever a time when Christians needed to think carefully and biblically about the question of gender, that time is now.
In less than a century, culturally speaking, that has completely changed. There was a time when the concept of what made someone a man or a woman was quite simple. There are people who refuse to conform to any one gender and people who are currently one gender but transitioning to another. There are now biological women who identify as men and biological men who identify as women. Today, many leading social institutions recognize well over fifty variations of gender. For the vast majority of human history, there have been two culturally and socially recognized genders: women and men. A Beautiful Design is a nine-session study designed to help students understand the biblical view of God’s design for men and women by examining gender through the lens of Scripture.
