Living Christianity Youth: Popular Bible study series from The Christian Institute now available for 11 to 16-year-olds

Living Christianity – the popular Bible study series from The Christian Institute – is now available as a free all-new version for 11 to 16-year-olds.

Living Christianity Youth has been designed for parents and those in youth ministry seeking to equip the next generation to be salt and light. Adapted from the original flagship series, it provides clear, engaging and biblically faithful content to help young believers aged around 11-16 to follow Jesus in every area of life.

It is available to stream online for free at livingchristianity.org.uk/youth and covers:

• engaging with today’s world as disciples of Jesus;
• holding a biblical view of the world and our role in it;
• living as Christians at home, school and work;
• valuing God’s good design for all areas of life; and
• living fruitfully as a Christian citizen in today’s society.

Superb graphics and animation are married with engaging study materials to present a compelling biblical worldview. This provides the foundation for tackling many of the controversies impacting young people today, including politics, gender identity and sexual ethics.

The Christian Institute’s Ciarán Kelly, one of the team behind Living Christianity, said:

“However young or old we are, we’re called to be full-time disciples – living the whole of life for God.

“Just like the original series, Living Christianity Youth is about having a biblical worldview for everything we do. There isn’t a separation between our ‘Christian life’ and the rest of our life. Following Christ transforms all aspects of the believer’s life, whether at home, at school or when we’re with our friends.

“There are so many pressures on young people today, especially when it comes to sexual ethics and ‘gender identity’. A Christian understanding of these issues is being marginalised, leaving many young people struggling to provide a biblical response.

“But if we want them to be faithful and effective Christian citizens, if they are to truly love their neighbours, they need to engage with wider society. That includes facing the difficult issues.

“The prayer of everyone involved with Living Christianity is that, through it, young Christians will be better equipped to follow Jesus in every area of life.”
