Respect and Consent: Living Love as a Teen

📖 Introduction

As teenagers navigate friendships, family connections, and romantic relationships, understanding the value of respect and consent is crucial. The Bible calls us to love one another deeply and genuinely, which includes honoring each person's boundaries and listening carefully to their feelings and wishes. Respecting others is more than simply being polite—it is an outflow of the love God shows us and teaches us to share.

In this study, we will explore what it means to practice respect and consent in our daily lives. We will see how biblical teachings encourage us to consider others’ needs and feelings, to communicate honestly, and to honor the sacredness of each individual. These lessons help build strong, trusting, and healthy relationships, which protect us from harm and promote true friendship and love.

As a teen, learning to listen well and honor boundaries is a key part of growing in maturity—both emotionally and spiritually. Whether you are making new friends, strengthening family ties, or thinking about dating, these truths will guide your steps. Join us as we dive into three days of study that will encourage and challenge you to embrace respect and consent as essential expressions of God's love in your life. Let's grow in love that builds up and honors each person.
