Restored Series: 4‑Week Youth Study on Healing Family Wounds

Families can be complicated. Many students carry wounds from betrayal, abuse, neglect or tension at home. Restored is a four‑week youth ministry curriculum that helps teens process their pain, invite Jesus into their story, and learn how the gospel heals family brokenness.

Series Overview

Each week journeys through Scripture and honest conversation to address hurt, forgiveness, reconciliation and new beginnings. Students will discover how God restores what’s been broken and empowers them to break generational cycles.

What Students Will Learn

• Week 1 – Father > Family (Colossians 1:2, 11-14)
  We often mistakenly, but understandably, place our earthly family in the spot where our heavenly Father belongs. When God is our primary means of formation, we’ll interact with our earthly family in healthier ways.
• Week 2 – Forgiveness Isn’t About Them (1 Peter 2:24)
  Forgiving family is hard, but ultimately forgiveness isn’t a reaction to family. It’s a reflection of Father.
• Week 3 – Humility is Normal (Philippians 2:5-7)
  Regardless of what it’s like in your family, Jesus modeled a new normal for us when He humbled Himself for our benefit. Humility is the new norm in God’s family.
• Week 4 – The Gospel Provides (Psalm 16:5-11)
  The way to break destructive family cycles is to allow the gospel to give you in full what your family only gave you in part.
