    About this ebook

    Discovering and embracing one’s identity has proven to be a long,
    lonely, rough, and at times, dangerous road for today’s teenagers. It’s
    likely you’ve chosen this study to use with your youth group because you
    care deeply and want the teenagers within your sphere of influence to
    find the answers to their identity questions in Jesus Christ.

    The
    I Am study is not a quick fix for your teenagers’ needs. It is a
    handcrafted tool that, when used by compassionate, caring, and committed
    adults, will ignite their imagination and excitement for whom their
    Creator says they are and the purpose for which they were designed.


    I Am will likely raise more questions than it answers, and that’s
    intentional. Don’t feel the need to make sure all the loose ends are
    tied up at the conclusion of your youth gathering. Allow your teens the
    opportunity to leave with ideas and truths on which to reflect and
    wrestle as they use the daily devotionals provided in the Groove: I Am Student Journal.


    The Groove Bible study series invites teens to learn the
    essentials of their faith, own their story, and engage the world in
    serving Jesus. Each topical study consists of four weekly sessions that
    are easy to lead and relate to life issues teens face. With up to 48
    weeks available, Groove is great for Sunday and mid-week gatherings for
    both large and small groups as well as retreats. The leader guide contains everything needed to lead teens through a Groove study, including teaching outlines, leader notes, Bible background, reflections, and parent communication.
