= (Equal)

A Life Night on Identity and Equality

About this Night

The Gather is a live game of Guess Who involving all of the teens. The Proclaim expresses the importance of recognizing our fundamental identity as created in the image and likeness of God and living in accordance with His natural law, ending with a Core Member testimony. The Break leads the teens through a brainstorm about the primary challenges teen guys and girls face. The Send uses the results of the brainstorm to encourage and support the teens through prayer of petition.

Goal of This Night

The goal of = (Equal) is to help the teens gain awareness about the different identities they take on and reveal their fundamental identity as made in the image and likeness of God. It will emphasize the dignity of every person while challenging the teens to see the importance of recognizing two genders — male and female — which are not fluid and cannot be changed.

Scripture

Key Concepts

• Our identity and dignity spring from the fact that we are created in the image and likeness of God and are invited into a relationship with Him as His children.
• We are created by God in His image and likeness, as male and female. Biological sex cannot be chosen or changed, but is received as a gift from God and for others.
• Our sexual identity is rooted in natural law, which is the law that guides us by helping us know what is good and ultimately leads us to the end we were created for —eternal life with God.
