Before the Session

• Have the Bible Background Video ready to view.
• Review today’s scripture text and the session activities to help better facilitate the discussion.
• Encourage your group to listen to the Faithelement podcast ahead of the next session (Share the link via email or social media).

Context

Play the As you Wish Movie clip and ask:

• What did you think of that type of movie love?
• What do you think of the idea of having a “soulmate” like many media presentations lead us to believe?
• If you were describing young love to a small child, how would you talk about?
• How do explain appropriate scenes of kissing in modern media to a small child?
• What would the Biblical writers have to say about our media’s image of love and sexuality?
• Without being graphic, can you name some inappropriate music and/or other media that is clearly against God’s gift of love of sexuality?

Content
