Style Two God or Culture...Who Is My Designer? Daughter's Study

By Nancy Butkowski

You will look at how God cares about the style you are promoting to the world and how He wants to help you become who you were designed to be. You will be encouraged to follow God's way not Culture's way. A Mother's Guide (guidance is offered if someone other than mom is doing the study with you) is available to accompany this study. At the end, a mother-daughter date is suggested.

Week 1, introduces you to seven (7) styles that influence the person you project to the world. The objective is to help you understand that your personal style should show off your signature style, the person God designed you to be.

Week 2, discusses how people in your world are perceiving who you are by what you wear, how you act, what you say and with whom you associate. They want to know if your faith is real and if you are living what you believe at home, at school or at play. One of the authors' personal story will be provided to share her own experience.

Week 3, explains that everything you do should reflect Christ, because as a Christian, you represent Him to the world. The importance of your self worth being found in your relationship with Christ, not on your appearance, intelligence, talents, status, wealth or what others think, will be affirmed.

Week 4 suggests a date for you and your mother to celebrate your relationship, share what you have learned and pray for one another. An action point to apply what was learned is identified.

This is the second of nine studies that will help you grow into the woman God designed you to be. Each study looks at a different area of your life, such as beauty, fashion, and friendships. You will learn life skills and values through these studies that will build character into your life and equip you to make a difference in your world.

Nancy Butkowski

Nancy and her husband, Dan, have served as missionaries with CRU since 1974. Together they raised 5 daughters who are now married with families of their home (14 grandchildren). She home schooled for 14 years during which time her focus was to help her daughters develop Godly character and ground them foundationally according to Biblical truths. When they got older, the children attended public school.For 14 years, Nancy gave leadership to the Student Venture Club at the schools her daughters attended, helping them and many of their friends grow in their relationship with Christ. As a result of those years of ministering together, she and her daughters developed content for mothers and daughters called Live In Style which they used in putting on live events in many cities. That content is the basis of the books she is developing into a Mother-Daughter series, to assist mothers in having conversations with their daughters concerning many of the issues her daughters and their friends struggled with.Working closely with teenagers, Nancy has come to understand that much of life catches them by surprise, especially as they enter the teen years. She desires to be proactive in introducing pre-teens/teenagers to some of the real issues they are about to face, and help them understand the importance of making godly choices as it relates to shaping their future.
