Shining Bright: Living Sober and Safe as a Teen
A 7-day study empowering teens to live differently, choose sobriety, and shine as lights for Christ in a culture of drinking.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to this transformative 7-day study designed especially for teens who want to stand out in a culture where drinking and reckless behavior often seem normal. As a young person striving to live for Christ, you have an incredible opportunity to be a light in the darkness (Matthew 5:14). This study will guide you through God's Word, providing encouragement, wisdom, and strength to make choices that honor Him—choosing sobriety, safety, and a lifestyle that reflects His love.
In a world that often pressures teens to conform, you might feel alone or misunderstood when you decide not to partake in drinking or risky behaviors. But through Scripture, you'll discover that God calls all believers, including teens, to be different. You are called to live with purpose and integrity — not to fit into the crowd, but to shine as a city on a hill, visible to all (Matthew 5:14).
Throughout these seven days, you'll explore powerful truths about who you are in Christ, how to respond to peer pressure, and the importance of guarding your body and spirit. Each day includes scripture readings, devotional thoughts, reflection questions, journaling prompts, and a prayer to help you intentionally live out your faith in practical ways.
Remember, your choices matter—not just for today, but for your future and for God's kingdom. By embracing sobriety and safety, you're not only protecting yourself but also setting an example for others to follow. You have the power to impact your friends, family, and community by living differently—and showing them the joy and freedom that come from walking with Jesus.
Let's embark on this journey together, inviting the Holy Spirit to guide us to be bold, wise, and unwavering lights in a world that desperately needs hope. 🌟
