Love, Sexuality, Relationships 2020 Resources
This year, we’re structuring our teaching around a series called “Different” from Jonathan Evans. We will begin each lesson with his 20 minute videos that walk students through four parables in Luke, teaching what it looks like for God to rule our lives. The video teaching will be followed by a 15 minute lesson that connects the biblical principle to students’ lives and the issues of love, sexuality, and relationships. We will also be linking additional resources relevant to each week’s topic that you may find helpful in talking with your student(s). Email us at students@sugarhillchurch.com to let us know your thoughts or if you have other resources that may be helpful!

Three Huge Mistakes We Make Leading Kids… and How to Correct Them
Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens by Paul David Tripp
Aside from the Bible itself, this is one of the best parenting books I have read. Tripp champions parents to engage the amazing season of opportunity to equip their students in real faith. Upon a foundation of Scripture, Tripp points out both the why and the how. Challenging and encouraging, this book meets you in the trenches and gives you the hope and wisdom of Christ-centered parenting. From someone who has been there and, with God’s help, thrived, this book is a must read for every parent of teenagers.
