Fuel2 teaches teens doctrine through multimedia
LifeWay video resource used by hundreds of youth groups
Such was the focus of a recent Inside LifeWay podcast with Alice Stegemann, editor in chief with LifeWay Christian Resources’ student ministry publishing, and Michael Eubanks, pastor to high school students at Gladeville Baptist Church in Gladeville, Tenn.
Stegemann and Eubanks believe a knowledge gap exists among teens as many believe in Jesus Christ as Savior but do not understand the doctrine behind the faith.
“Our students don’t really understand what they believe or why they believe it,” said Stegemann. “They get out into the world, run into other religions and other doctrines, and they don’t know what kind of answers to give.”
To train students on doctrinal beliefs, LifeWay produced Fuel2, a DVD-driven curriculum that takes a systematic approach to teaching doctrines of faith through videos designed to catch the attention of a media-focused generation.
In addition to doctrine, the multimedia presentations discuss what other religions believe, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. The curriculum also explains the difference between what Baptists believe compared to other denominations such as Methodist and Assemblies of God.
As a minister to students, Eubanks said he wants to prepare the youth of his church to discern between truth and false doctrine. He hopes to accomplish that by using Fuel2 with kids and parents in his church.
“Our ultimate goal is spiritual transformation,” he said. “A lot of our kids are in a dangerous spot because they’re not sifting through these false truth claims and getting to what is actually truth with a capital T.”
