Authenticity

How do people know you are a Christian? You have to live it! Students in high school and college are continually faced with situations that force them to make tough choices. These choices will impact how they live and interact in the world. Making the right decision requires sound reason and firm convictions. The Authenticity Series focuses on concrete situations where young people tackle topics such as lying, cheating, gossiping and underage drinking. A brief topical overview, the Church's moral teaching, and challenging questions for group discussion will equip participants with ways to overcome "the influence of the crowd" and build habits of virtue. The program will help students to live a life worthy of Christ and his teachings in the modern world.
