Youth Development Studies on Personal Values, Goal Setting and Decision-Making

Lesson 1: Just Who Am I?
Who are you? You might answer this question by stating your name. But that's not really the question. Who are you as a person? What makes you...you?

Lesson 2: How Do I Know I Can Trust God?
Living faith is more than just believing God exists. Living faith is trusting that God loves us so much that He will do what's best for us.

Lesson 3: Would Someone Tell Me Where I'm Going?
God's way is the only way of life that works in the long run. It only makes sense that the Creator of life knows how life is supposed to be lived.

Lesson 4: A Call to Break the Pattern
There are numerous real historical cases where a young person became a ruler over a nation. Let's look at two such cases in the history of ancient Israel recorded in the Bible.

Lesson 5: The Adventures of Joseph
The story of Joseph is gripping. The favored son of a wealthy man finds himself betrayed by his brothers and has to deal with a number of challenges. In the end, he meets his brothers again under very different circumstances. Lessons from Joseph's adventures are not only interesting, but they are relevant to young people today.

Lesson 6: When Half a Million Bullets Aren't Enough
Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of daily life, we lose sight of the purpose of life. Many times, we don't wake up from our preoccupation with details until the crisis is upon us in the form of ruined health, devastated relationships and depression.

Lesson 7: God's Color Guard
It seems we can't read the editorial page of a newspaper or magazine without someone pointing out that the problem with young people today is a lack of values and standards.

Lesson 8: A Balanced Life
How would you answer the question, "What are your life goals?" The answer to this question has much to do with the quality of your life. When you know and understand your life's mission and foundational values, then you have a basis for developing personal goals.

Lesson 9: Goal Setting and Decision Making
We all have to make decisions every day, like what clothes to wear or what to eat for lunch. We also face choices that can affect the rest of our lives—decisions concerning education, career and friends. Young people are confronted daily with far-reaching judgments concerning sex, drugs and other moral issues.
