What if your students’ single life or dating world wasn’t at the mercy of their latest crush “crushing back” but was incredibly meaningful and life-giving on its own? What if they became the kind of friend who could inspire real meaning in their friend circle? What if they knew how to be especially and appropriately thoughtful in letting their special someone feel like a special someone? What if they had a genuine understanding of the freedom God gives them when they trust Him in all of these things, whether their relationship status changes or not? 

There’s a lot of advice floating around on all of this, right? Every one of your students probably already has a set of answers for all the questions about what it means to be single, dating, a friend, or romantic. But whether those conclusions were inherited from others around them, movies they watch, celebrities they follow, church messages, or personal experiences, there’s so much more room to let God reset them with new questions that can get them to healthier places. 

In SINGLE, DATING, FRIENDSHIPS, & ROMANCE, your students will discover the genius wisdom and unconditional love of God through a lot of laughter, interaction, honesty, and opportunities to reflect. Maybe they’ll even consider trading in whatever “answers” they’ve been living with for something healthier as they learn what it looks like to ask some new questions and operate out of a life-long relationship with Jesus. Throughout it all, your students will discover that they’re worth it, and so is what they’re fighting for!
