Faith Out Loud is youth curriculum written by Cumberland Presbyterians for Cumberland Presbyterians (although members of other denominations within the Reformed tradition will likely find it useful as well). Each lesson is designed to invite young people to think deeply about Christianity and explore ways to incorporate their faith into their daily lives... in other words, to live their faith out loud.

This book has 10 lessons focusing on "weird" things people do in the name of God. Some of them are weirder than others, some of them could find a place in your church... and some of them definitely should not! There are also three lessons dealing with disturbing things regularly happening in our world, trends which demand an informed Christian response from CP youth.

The lessons are:

Weddings

Funerals

Snake Handling & Drinking Poison

Speaking in Tongues

Refusing Medicine or Medical Treatment

Hate/Judgement/Persecution

Boycotting

Holy Laughter

Gender Roles

Cults

Bullying

Porn

Human Trafficking
