Can I Ask That?: 8 Hard Questions About God and Faith [Sticky Faith Curriculum] Student Guide
Ever had a question about God that you were scared to ask? Ever felt like your hard questions get squashed, silenced, or brushed aside? We get that. We wrote this guide for people like you.
And we have good news. First, other teenagers and adults ask these kinds of questions all the time. Second, it's not only okay to ask hard questions, but it's actually important-some say essential-for your faith journey. And finally, God can handle it. God isn't anxious about your questions, struggles, or doubts. We don't think you should be either.
Designed for use in small groups alongside the Can I Ask That Leader Guide , these eight sessions tackle the following tough
What is the Bible, anyway? Why does the Bible contradict itself? Can I be a Christian and believe in evolution? Does God discriminate against women? Is Jesus really the only way to God? What does the Bible say about being gay? Does God endorse violence? And, How can I follow a God who would let Christians do such bad things?
Whether you've never asked these questions before or you've been aching for the chance, this guide is meant to be a starting point for each conversation.
Ready? Go ahead. You can ask that.

Just finished leading a group of high schoolers through this material. We had some great discussions! The teens were engaged, and some told me that we had talked about things they had always wondered about. I like that the material presents several viewpoints, so if young people are not aware of the different ways people believe with respect to a certain topic, it introduces them to different lines of thinking and equips/encourages them to sort out their beliefs.

Excellent. Not only would this be a fantastic curriculum for any youth group, all Christians should read it! Promotes conversation and critical thinking about common questions asked by believers and non-believers alike. This book doesn't give answers. It guides readers in discovering their own convictions and helps them to articulate the why. It's important for Christ followers of any age and stage to have thought through these questions. I'm excited to go through the book with our high schoolers this summer.
