ONLINE COURSE: A Student’s Guide to Sexual Integrity
6 Video Sessions + Interactive PDFs + Leader Guide
Culture is loud and pressure is real. Students don’t need fear tactics; they need wisdom, clarity, compassion, and a plan. This study pairs biblical truth with brain-science, practical tools, and grace.
Sessions:
1. The Foundation — God designed sex on purpose and for our good. We’ll explore why His boundaries actually lead to freedom, connection, and peace—not restriction.
2. Radical Respect — We’ll unpack how honoring others reflects God’s heart for them, and what Radical Respect looks like in everyday conversations, friendships, and online spaces.
3. Friends — Your crew shapes your direction. We’ll talk about choosing friends who bring out the best in you—and how to BE that kind of friend, too.
4. Training Smarter > Trying Harder — Freedom from pornography takes more than willpower. We’ll look at real strategies for guarding your heart, renewing your mind, and getting the help you need.
5. Culture, Gender & Authority — With so many voices telling us who to be, we’ll learn how to listen to the One who made us—and what it means to root our identity in God, not trends.
6. Guardrails for Dating — We’ll get practical about dating: who to date, how to date, and how to pre-decide healthy guardrails that protect your future and honor God.
