FAITH MATTERS

Enjoy this week's Chapel presentation:

Chapel Talk Discussion Questions:

What are some of the top ways today's culture tries to change teenagers? Ways it tries to move teens away from God? Think media, peer pressure, cultural lies, other influences.
What, if anything, in today's culture do you need to beware of or walk away from?
What are you 'determined' not to have culture change you during your high school years, or for Seniors, during college?

Scripture: Daniel 1:8
