Youth Culture Lesson
The Quest for Beauty

 
   

Young women want to look like older women. Older women want to look younger. These are just some of the ways people of various ages are responding to growing pressures to be beautiful.

Have you seen your kids struggling with issues concerning personal appearance? Then you’ll want to use our latest Youth Culture Lesson. It can help you and your group talk through some of the spiritual issues involved in “The Quest for Beauty.”

 
  Video Game Addicts?  
   

A new study published in Psychological Science suggests that nearly one of every 10 children is addicted, on some level, to video games. Check out our report, with a list of addictive signs.

 
 

Battling Sexual Trafficking

 
   

One million children enter the $32 billion sex trade every year. Between 14,500 and 17,500 children are trafficked into the United States every year. One group has created a September program to combat trafficking. Read about it here.

 
  Mental Illness the Church  
   

Mental illness is affecting one of every four families in the United States. A fall conference is set to help church leaders figure out what they can do to address this challenge more effectively. Read more here.
