Those of us who remember tennis great Andre Agassi’s Canon commercial can’t hear the word image without recalling his now famous tagline, “Image is everything.” Recently images of female celebrities have been more than “everything”—they’ve been everywhere. This week LinC uses the recent celebrity picture-hacking scandal to help youth talk about God’s perspective on the body, body image, and respect for others. Key Scriptures: Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18; Song of Songs 4:1-7; 5:10-16; John 1:1-5, 14. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All around are reminders of the devastation of this ravaging disease, as well as the tireless efforts to find a cure. Survivor testimonies are a driving force in helping to battle breast cancer. Bathed in hope while preparing for the worst, their stories of struggles and victories speak of trust in the unknown. Next week’s LinC will point youth toward trusting Jesus as their source of hope.
