Video Modules
This curriculum was developed for the church at large to help Christians better understand some of the current bioethical issues within our culture so that they can respond with biblical insight. The bioethical issues addressed in this curriculum include the beginning of life, biblical sexuality, transgender ideology, the end of life, and addiction. Each of the five modules contains a didactic portion that concludes with several discussion questions and a list of resources, allowing a small group within the church to dive deeper into the topic. A medical degree is NOT required to facilitate these sessions.
