Real Questions

Six honest conversations about the questions students are already asking

A six-week series that welcomes students' hardest questions and answers them with honesty, humility, and Scripture.

The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

Students are already asking why suffering exists, whether science and faith can belong together, if the Bible can be trusted, what Christians believe about other religions, why prayer sometimes feels unanswered, and why the church so often falls short. Many assume church is the one place they cannot say those questions out loud.

Real Questions gives each question a complete youth night. A weekly anonymous Question Box makes room for what students are really carrying, while every session offers a thoughtful biblical response without pretending that every mystery has an easy answer.

Series foundationJohn 11, Psalm 19, Luke 1, Acts 17, 2 Corinthians 12, and Luke 18

Questions leaders ask

Before you bring it to your team

Can our volunteers use the files?

Yes. The resource covers staff and volunteers serving within one local church or ministry organization.

Will this work for a smaller group?

Yes. The activity menus and discussion prompts can be adapted for a handful of students or a larger room.

Do I need special supplies?

Most sessions use ordinary youth-room supplies. The leader guide flags materials and setup before each activity.
