Middle-school apologetics, finally written for middle schoolers.
Six big questions. Six lessons. Two solid answers per lesson. Your students carry one Six Questions Card and the confidence to say honestly: “I don’t know everything, but I know where to look.” These are the questions they’re actually asking — on TikTok, at lunch, in late-night texts — taken seriously, at their level.
The 6-lesson arc
- The Big Question — Does God exist? Creation testifies, and a beginning needs a beginner.
- The Book — Can we trust the Bible? The New Testament is the best-attested ancient document we have.
- Other Maps — What about other religions? They disagree on the central questions; not all roads lead the same place.
- The Hard One — Why does God let bad things happen? The world is broken, and God himself suffered with us on a cross.
- Science and Story — Doesn’t science disprove faith? Science answers how; faith answers why, and many scientists are Christians.
- Why Jesus — Why him, and not someone else? He claimed to be God, was crucified, and rose — uniquely among founders.
What’s included
For the leader: A Leader Guide with prep, “Looking for…” hints, a Two Solid Answers card per lesson (the 60-second briefing), and a Going Deeper reading list. Plus Quick-Start, Materials List, and a 6-Week Scope & Sequence.
For the student: A Student Workbook with journaling pages and practice scripts (the “I don’t know everything, but I know where to look” sentence built in), plus the wallet-sized Six Questions Card to carry after Week 6.
For the family: A Parent Letter that prepares parents to be a resource — not a roadblock — when overflow questions land at home. Honesty over bluffing is the family discipline this curriculum teaches.
What makes it different
Pitched at the age window when these questions are first asked. Theologically anchored, evidence-honest, and doubter-respecting, with vetted Going Deeper resources for the curious student. Scripture throughout is the Berean Standard Bible. Read our full Statement of Faith at DiviNav.com/what-we-believe.
