LAST WEEK

One of the most well-known biblical stories is the account of David and Goliath. It’s the classic underdog story. Small vs. Big. Young vs. Old. Good vs. Bad. But this event isn’t just about a young guy killing a giant. It’s also a tale of how we must protect our identities from people who would try to change how we see ourselves.

In our small groups this week, we used this familiar story to help our students understand the importance of “protecting” our identities in God. David faced challenges from King Saul and Goliath. They questioned or attacked his identity, but David stood his ground because of his relationship with God.

This week, I’d encourage you to find some time to talk with your teenager about the idea of having our identities stolen, challenged, or undermined. Here are some questions that might spark conversation:

  • Are your friends building you up or tearing you down?
  • How is your relationship with God these days?
  • If you could do something big for God right now, what would you do?

Remind your teenager that we can find our strength and beauty through a deeper, more intimate friendship with God—just like David had. Have a blessed week!
