Getting Started
You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
(JOHN 8:32)
HEY FRIEND!
We’re so excited that this book is in your hands. It means you’re ready to do some serious work. And that, we believe, is going to lead you to some serious freedom.
We’ve already rolled up our sleeves and done some of the heavy lifting for you. We developed a plan to uncover lies that you might believe. As part of that plan, we surveyed more than 1000 young women to uncover 25 of the most commonly believed lies in your generation. Then we took that list of lies and set out to uncover God’s Truth, praying all along the way that God’s Spirit would direct our work.
If you read Lies Young Women Believe, you’ll get a good glimpse at how you can be free. In essence, we introduced you to Truth in the book.
But being introduced to someone or something isn’t the same as knowing that person or thing. Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." We want you to know Truth. It’s time for you to roll up your sleeves to move past the introductions.
That’s where this Study Guide comes in. This book is designed to help you go deeper in understanding and applying the message of Lies Young Women Believe (updated version, 2018). You have nine sessions of Bible study, personal application, and discussion suggestions in your hands. Think of this as your
