Groove: I Am Leader Guide

Discovering and embracing one’s identity has proven to be a long,
lonely, rough, and at times, dangerous road for today’s teenagers. It’s
likely you’ve chosen this study to use with your youth group because you
care deeply and want the teenagers within your sphere of influence to
find the answers to their identity questions in Jesus Christ.

The
I Am study is not a quick fix for your teenagers’ needs. It is a
handcrafted tool that, when used by compassionate, caring, and committed
adults, will ignite their imagination and excitement for whom their
Creator says they are and the purpose for which they were designed.

I Am will likely raise more questions than it answers, and that’s
intentional. Don’t feel the need to make sure all the loose ends are
tied up at the conclusion of your youth gathering. Allow your teens the
opportunity to leave with ideas and truths on which to reflect and
wrestle as they use the daily devotionals provided in the Groove: I Am Student Journal.

The Groove Bible study series invites teens to learn the
essentials of their faith, own their story, and engage the world in
serving Jesus. Each topical study consists of four weekly sessions that
are easy to lead and relate to life issues teens face. With up to 48
weeks available, Groove is great for Sunday and mid-week gatherings for
both large and small groups as well as retreats. The leader guide contains everything needed to lead teens through a Groove study, including teaching outlines, leader notes, Bible background, reflections, and parent communication.
