Studies That Explore Current Events

Why not equip your Sunday school class with the tools to discuss current events through a Biblical perspective? The Thoughtful Christian provides studies that explore the Christian response to many of today’s current events and pop culture texts. In using these studies, your church members will be confronting these topics with their friends, associates, and family. Christ's teachings become exciting when they are discussed in a manner that is relevant. Biblical principals can and should guide our thinking in today's ever-changing world. All are welcomed in learning about current events through the lens of Christ's teachings. For Christians, this provides focus and direction in our lives. We invite all to learn and study with us in our collective Christian walk through life's journey.
