Today's
Teen post is part 2 of last week's Girls Day we had at our church building. You

One of the greatest issues our Christian teen girls are
facing today is a battle against what magazines and social medias identify as
beauty. Everywhere our teen girls look that are bombarded with people that
focus on what is outward as if that gives a woman her value. When I decided to
do a Teen Girls Day at my church, I knew this had to be one of the topics. 
At Teen Girls Day every single girl sat in on a lesson about
inner beauty. This was not your standard inner beauty lesson though. We dove
deep into what the scriptures identify as beautiful traits of a Christian woman
in a student led way.
We also took the girl’s thinking to a new level by looking
specifically at woman who are popular in current media. What makes these women
beautiful?
The lesson also included a video for the girls to watch to
extend their thinking and a time for reflection.
Is your teenager or a teenager you know struggling to
understand the value of inner beauty? Here is something you can do. Sit down with them and help
them brainstorm all of the character traits they have that make them a good
person. Go through each trait and discuss why it is important and how it helps
them to be a better Christian. Your teenager will be thankful that you did.

Hello! My name is Danielle Ringold. You may
recognize the children in the picture because my mom is Debbie Jackson, the
owner of the Bible Fun for Kids website.
What a wonderful lesson to share with teen girls in your church. Inner beauty is so much more important than what they see in the mirror but unfortunately as you said, social media, etc, says otherwise to them. All teen girls should be blessed with a class like yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I appreciate the comment!
DeleteLOVE THIS! I have a heart for teens!! Before I became a mama, my husband and I served as youth group leaders at our church. I taught a Wednesday night girls bible study and this type of lesson/theme would have been GREAT! May God bless you as you seek to serve the young gals in your church as you teach and show them Christ! Thank you for linking up! Please continue to bless us with more!!!
