To truly engage your youth in their faith formation, it requires giving them a sense of ownership as they dig into what they believe and why they believe it. T.B.D.: Think. Believe. Do. offers a resource for youth leaders to engage youth to actively participate in their own faith development and embark of a journey of exploration. As a result, youth begin to ask and answer questions about their faith while also building their own belief system.

Take your small group facilitation to the next level with the T.B.D.: Mission DVD, which gives youth the perspective of mission from the view of another teen, who explores her beliefs alongside your youth group. Plus, as an added bonus, it will definitely get your teens laughing (and talking!).

The second unit of T.B.D., Mission, helps students uncover what mission means to them -- and to their faith. Over the course of four weeks, youth leaders host a small group session with youth centered on a specific statement to get youth talking about what mission means to them in the context of that statement, which provokes emotion and discussion because of the unequivocal stance they were designed to take. Youth are asked to think deeply about the statement at hand and create their own perspective based on their faith and belief system.

T.B.D.: Mission features four unique statements of faith for youth and their leaders to discuss, unpack, and ultimately, find meaning around:

• We are God's servant
  
• God needs my help
  
• Mission requires sacrifice
  
• Everything you do matters
