Bible Lessons that don't sugar coat the issues of inner-city life from TastyFaith.

Does outreach ministry in the inner-city freak you out? If you didn't grow up on the block, relating to the issues that urban youth deal with today can be overwhelming.

SLAM! Lessons for urban outreach can help.

SLAM! stands for Simple, Life-changing, Applicable Messages .

Each faith based lesson connects the hope of Christ to the non-sugar coated issues urban kids deal with today, from fatherless homes to teen pregnancy.

You get everything needed to pull off an urban outreach lesson, whether you're there for the long haul or just on a short term mission trip.

Each Leader Guide Lesson includes:

STRAIGHT UP FACT: a truth about living in an urban environment.

WORD! an applicable verse that brings hope to that situation.

KICK-OFF ACTIVITY: a fun "crowd breaking" activity that connects with the lesson.

YA KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN' STORY: A streetwise story to get your teens' heads nodding.

LIFE CHANGING QUESTIONS to get a discussion started with your teens.

CHALLENGES to encourage students to think about the lesson all week long.

ADD YOUR OWN REAL DEAL: a basic outline to help you organize your thoughts and life experiences. Being real with teens about your faith will make Jesus Christ real to them.
