It's You: Is It Possible to Build Real and Lasting Friendships?: Participant's Guide
()
About this ebook
Friends make a life. And sometimes they break it. That's why the It's You study helps you to deal with all sorts of friendship issues. Like what happens to your friendships when the opposite sex is introduced? Or how do you deal with deep misunderstandings and the craziness of rumors? And what happens when you mix in faith to the whole scheme? How can you thrive when so much chaos and stress reigns?
Featuring "live" dramas from the REVOLVE tour in combination with Bible study, the Reel to Real Interactive Drama-Based Study Series addresses the questions and issues—both series and frivolous—that hit at the heart of teens.
Designed for individual or group study, the It's You participant's guide helps individuals and groups explore what’s been exposed through the dramas and dig deeper into how to live differently in this changing world.
Participant's guide features:
- Questions, Bible study, and activities for group or individual study
- Real-life stories from teens
- Tips for youth group leaders
- Activies to be artsy and interactive with the topic
- Resources & itunes list (websites, books, online videos, and music related to the topic)

What Is a Reel to Real Study?
Simply put, it’s what you hold in your hands. A video sketch (reel) and your journey (real). Put those two together and you have a fresh and transforming way of studying the Bible and getting to know God.
We are so excited you’ve decided to journey alongside us in this adventure called following Jesus. Knowing the current bent toward YouTube, iTunes, and social networking sites, we’ve developed an interactive study based on that reality. You’ll watch a drama, hear from others who are on the journey, and then chat about it with your friends. We’ve provided many different ways for you to grow.
The sketches you’ll see on the DVD are dramatic vignettes written and directed by Nicole Johnson. Each drama was performed and recorded live at the Revolve Tour and put together for this study as a creative way to look at the issues we face.
This guide will be your companion as you watch the dramas. The first study is designed for group interaction. Of course, you can always watch the DVD on your own and work your way through the study if you’d like. But we find gathering a group of friends to watch the drama, then discussing it together over popcorn and caffeine makes the learning fun. More people equal more discussion, more insight.
After the initial watch and discuss, we offer four more studies for you to explore each theme on your own. Like taking a walk in your own woods, you can go as deep as you dare and stay as long as you wish, hopefully emerging at some point with a clearer understanding of how you can live differently in this changing world.
These personal studies will not be your typical Bible study where you take a crusty ballpoint and fill in long blanks with short answers. We’ll ask you probing questions that definitely don’t have a set answer. You’ll tap into your creativity. We’ll push you (gently!) toward thinking about the world outside your front door. We’ll start you with a truth, but you’ll end with a dare. Then we’ll resource you with cool sites, books, and songs that can help you further your journey.
It’s our hope that by watching this DVD, digesting it with friends, and doing some thinking and wrestling on your own, you’ll finish the study a little different from how you were when you started. More confident of who you are. More able to open your heart to who God is and willing to be surprised by His extravagant, countercultural love. Released to be who He created you to be. And full of gratitude for all He has done (and
