This is a class just for girls where we will tackle the tough issues facing young women today. Sadly, we know all too well what society tells young women about how they should look and behave. These messages stand in stark contrast to what the Bible says about who we are. Through different speakers and activities, we will look at a variety of issues such as beauty, success, friendships, dating, and more. In each of these topics, we will examine what the world says and what God says, with the goal of discrediting society’s lies and replacing it with a purely Biblical perspective of what it means to be a proud daughter of Christ.
