SERIES PREVIEW
Lesson 1: Be Yourself
Teens will learn that their identity isn’t wrapped up in what the world says. Rachel covers contentment and the truth that money itself isn’t evil. This lesson also emphasizes that it’s not about how much money you have, but rather what you do with money that matters.
Lesson 2: Be Realistic
Today’s teens are drowning in advertising and hit with peer pressure all day every day. In this lesson, students learn how to fight these pressures—and win. The concepts of debt and net worth are also introduced, along with the question of whether or not it’s okay to have nice things.
Lesson 3: Be Aware
Teens face a lot of money myths: My parents will always take care of me. One day, I’ll have as much money as my parents do now. Teens don’t need to budget. Money isn’t spiritual. I shouldn’t give if I don’t have money. This lesson debunks these myths and gives students a new mindset for their money.
Lesson 4: Do the Details
A budget is the key to winning with money—even for teens! This lesson teaches basic budgeting, including Dave’s cash envelope system and debit card strategies. Plus, students will tackle the subject of wants versus needs.
Lesson 5: Do Your Part
What made the Good Samaritan so good? It was his attitude about giving. In this lesson, Dave and Rachel explore the meaning of stewardship. Topics include giving both time and money, understanding the tithe, giving beyond the tithe through offerings, and making an impact on the world today!
