What content makes up a quarter (or a module)? Three units make up each module. One unit is focused on spiritual growth, one is focused on character development, and one is focused on practical skills for life. Each unit is made up of four sessions in which essential principles are wrestled with and discussed through a biblical worldview.
Who was SEEN created by? SEEN has been prayed over and developed over the course of several years by a thoughtful, seasoned team of Christian youth leaders, writers, and editors. Many of the contributors serve teens weekly in their local churches and/or are the parents of teens themselves. Every person on the SEEN team has compassion and admiration for the leaders who are reaching out to and teaching and comforting young people on a daily basis, and we see youth leaders, pastors, and volunteers as some of the most significant difference makers in the salvation and transformation of the next generation.
Who was SEEN created for? SEEN was created for every student in your ministry. It was created to cultivate the kind of adult-teen relationships and biblical application that are crucial for the spiritual and personal development of any adolescent. Because SEEN has been created and adapted from resources originally designed to speak to young people enduring hard circumstances, sessions have practical tips and training to help leaders (from new volunteers to seasoned veterans) be sensitive to the particular needs of teens who are experiencing the effects of stress, trauma, and conflict in their lives.
