Younger youth often express themselves through the clothes they wear, the music they listen to, and the trends they pick up on. They learn from television, quote their favorite movies, and discover new worlds open to them on the Internet. Adolescents are immersed in fashion, media, and entertainment and are a target market for advertisers and media moguls. This study series will help youth maintain their Christian identity even as they live in a "pop culture world". The Leader's Guide includes step-by-step plans for 7 sessions, plus a retreat model, a worship service, and an "out-and-about" activity. Session Titles Include: A Pop Culture World Gotta Have It Entertain Me Weekly What's the Buzz? Hot, or Not? In the Public Eye Garbage In, Garbage Out
