Equipping the Teenage Boys of First Baptist Church in Haleyville, Alabama to Pursue Holiness in the Face of Digital Temptation

Abstract

This project seeks to equip the teenage boys of First Baptist Church Haleyville (FBCH) to pursue holiness in the digital age. Teenage boys must overcome many obstacles on their electronic devices. Chapter 1 presents the ministry context within the project, the rationale of the project, and the goals of the project. Chapter 2 provides biblical exegesis of God’s commands to pursuing holiness and fleeing immorality. Chapter 3 addresses the issues teenage boys face today. They should successfully navigate addiction to devices, psychological issues created by social media and video games, and immorality with pornography. In chapter 4, the project is described, and the curriculum is detailed. Chapter 5 contains an overall evaluation of the project and suggestions for improvement. Ultimately, this project seeks to give the next generation knowledge and strategies to overcome sin when it comes to their devices.
