Youth Lenten study: Shame, Vulnerability, and Resilience
By
Jen Kidwell
This 6-week Lenten study weaves together themes of vulnerability, fear, shame, guilt, repentence, and resilience in ways that invite youth to reflect and find strength in themselves, their faith, and their comunity. This study is designed for youth to foster curiosity about themselves and scripture, confidence in their createdness, companionship in Jesus, and courage to transform the world through love. It's "Lenty," without being preachy.
See the sample to view the first lesson.
It features Brene Brown’s wildly popular TED talks (excerpted), and a few of the lessons also feature youtube clips from some popular TV comedies (Parks and Rec, The Office, Schitt’s Creek, and The Good Place), which are optional, but I think will lighten the discussion in some helpful ways.
Lessons feature scripture reading, creative exercises, key points of interpretation and theology, and lots of discussion questions. They're designed for 60-90 minutes.
I hope this labor of love is useful for your ministry this Lenten season, and that you are able to go to both difficult and beautiful places with your youth in this time of preparation and transformation.
