“Put on the full armor of God.” Ephesians 6:11

“Who are you?” For teenagers, identity is a big question; teens realize that identity is more than just your name. But it’s also more than your likes and dislikes. It’s more than what your favorite food, your favorite video game, your favorite band, or who your favorite football team is. It’s more than what social group you hang out with. It’s more than the posters that decorate the walls of your room. It’s more than your artwork. It’s even more than the grades you get at school. Those are all outside things. Who you are is deeper – more foundational than that.

You want proof? First, things change: your favorite food changes; the music you listen to changes; your social group changes; even where you live and go to school changes. But things don’t just change: they fall apart. Friends sometimes let you down. Relationships break. People pick on our looks or our personality. We make mistakes. We let others down. We say and do things we later regret. We get into trouble. You get the picture. If we build our identity – who we are – on these outside things, it’s leaves us feeling lost when these outside things change or fall apart. We need a solid, stable foundation to build our identity on.

Fortunately, we have that foundation – a foundation that remains constant, changeless, and strong. That foundation is Jesus. At SHIELD, teens will be weekly reminded of this absolute truth – that their identity remains a redeemed child of God. Every Sunday afternoon, teens will have the opportunity to build relationships with other Christian teens, to hang out, have fun, but most importantly to grow in faith in our Savior and build our identity on him and him alone.
