When it comes to topics that dominate the minds of teenagers, love and relationships are often at the top of the list. Students are constantly surrounded by cultural messages about love—whether through social media, music, movies, or conversations with friends. Unfortunately, many of these messages are shallow, misleading, or outright contrary to a gospel-centered perspective.
In youth ministry, it’s essential to provide students with a clear and biblical vision of love—one that goes beyond romantic feelings and fleeting emotions. The truth is, if the church is silent on this topic, culture will fill the gap. And without guidance, students may build their understanding of love on unstable foundations that lead to hurt and confusion.
