Belief Matters (Beyond Belief Campaign)

Description of Belief Matters:

Josh McDowell's Beyond Belief message is the foundation to launch a spiritual revolution among youth. This is a revolution to equip churches and families to raise up a generation of the cross--young people who have been transformed by Christ and the cross, who are empowered to live crossgrain to the culture and are committed to share Christ across all cultures. Sixteen stand-alone products make up an entire family of resources that churches need to launch a church-wide revolution. These products are directed to every age group from 5 to 105, and help equip church groups and families with the tools to lead their children and youth to become transformed, passionate followers of Christ. The eight-session group workbook study for adult groups with leader's guide is the natural follow-up to the Belief Matters video series. Belief Matters provides an in-depth step-by-step plan for parents and gatekeepers to lead their families and youth into a fresh encounter with God.

Description of Josh Mcdowell, author of Belief Matters:

Studies reveal that in the last twelve months 74 percent of our churched young people cheated on tests, 83 percent lied to teachers, and 93 percent lied to parents. That is only a 2 percent difference from their non-Christian friends. And 64 percent of our kids believe that "if people are generally good or do enough good things for others in life, they will earn a place in heaven."Simply stated, the foundations of the Christian faith have been undermined in the lives of the majority of our young people. Josh McDowell's Belief Matters 8-session workbook course is designed as a group study to help adults and parents rebuild and reinforce the very foundation of the faith with their children and young people.With this leader's guide you will be able to lead group sessions and individual work activities that will help your group discover:Why beliefs do matter.What distorted beliefs your kids have about Christianity.Why Christ's claims to deity are so vitally important.How to make Christ real to your family.Designed to be completed over eight weeks, these group sessions and activities will equip your group to discover a fresh way to raise up a new generation of passionate followers of Christ who can stand strong in the face of today's culture. This leader's guide will enable you to help your small group understand and complete each important session and, most importantly, apply it in their lives.
