Each T.B.D.: Think. Believe. Do. lesson invites students to use their experiences, Christian tradition, and the Bible to wrestle with a theological idea and test that idea out in the world. Using their Student Journals as workbooks, students refine their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in a group discussion process that allows them to figure out not only what they believe, but also why they believe it.
Each stand-alone unit is only four sessions. This allows you the flexibility and ease to use these units where they fit best in your program year. If you're not meeting in-person at this time, read tips for using T.B.D. remotely.
T.B.D. was created for churches who . . .
• trust youth to actively participate in and own their faith formation;
• view discipleship as an ongoing process;
• want a small group resource that is relevant and relatable to students.
T.B.D. Prayer helps students build their theological toolkit and begin thinking about why, when, and how we pray.
