While confirmation is an important part in the walk of faith, we all understand that it’s not the end of the journey. A lot happens in the months and years after students make their first faith commitment. While teenagers may have a basic understanding of what it means to be a Christian, they still need help to let their faith develop as it deepens and strengthens. Affirm was written with this challenge in mind, as a discipleship resource for youth leaders to guide their teens through the transition phase after confirmation. Through Affirm, teens will learn about and put into practice the following truths: • They are called to be both disciples and disciple makers. • They can experience deeper faith alongside their church family. • They should talk about what they believe and why. • Faith can be practiced in their everyday lives. With 6 creative, thought-provoking and easy-to-use lessons, Affirm is great for a youth group series, a small group study or for a weekend retreat. Affirm provides leaders with the tools to enlist the support of their church and parents to help students grow stronger and go deeper with their relationship to Christ.
