I’m so excited by this Bible study! I’ve been hearing about it for months and I worked with several ladies at my church to figure out a way to bring this to my high school girls so they can work through the lies we are told by our culture. It made a great Bible lesson and as the final activity after working with our mirrors all study, we turned them into a craft.

Looking at the lies we believe
The Deceived Bible study looks at the lies we believe. We would take our mirrors with each lesson and write a lie we believed.
There were a lot of things in common with the lies we believed. Some were of the “I’m not _________ enough,” or some were “I haven’t __________ enough.” Another name for this study could be enough.
I am not enough.
But the thing is we are. With each lesson we would have Bible verses telling us just who we are in Christ. Who God sees us to be.
Many of the verses were the same verses from the You Are Chosen Bible verses.
As we talked about the lies we believed we would erase them and start to look at the truths of who we are.
Quick note on the Deceived Bible study
One of my favorite parts of this study was how much Bible was in it. Many Bible studies concentrate more on feelings or the experiences of the author than the Bible. This study was a lot of Bible, and a few quotes expanding on what was said, but it’s a Bible study.
It looks at where the lies come from, and it looks at how our lives are changed by those lies, and what the truths are. I highly recommend it.
Deceived craft
At the end of the Deceived Bible study we took our mirrors that had been covered with so many lies and covered it in truths.
We cut out words and started to glue them on.
We went through and covered those mirrors in truth. We took words from the study and verses from the study and covered the mirrors.
We talked through all of the things we studied, and how it was different.
At the end, they all agreed they would like to take more time with the study and work through it at a slower pace where they can think about the whole thing. Instead of working through the entire study at a crazy pace in less than 2 days.
All in all, I loved this study and how the mirror worked so well to refer to through the whole thing.
While the study as written is originally intended for adults, many of the statements focus on problems adults have (failing our husbands, dealing with kids, balancing work and life), those are tertiary issues, the core of the study is perfectly relevant for high school.
