All substance use prevention and support efforts in public school settings are faith neutral. No opinions particular to religion are included in school programs, unless requested. In addition, Fight The Good Fight operates without an evangelistic mindset, as the end-goal is not to bring people to faith. Every effort and prevention model implemented by FTGF works toward the mission: to bridge the gap between adolescent substance use and support systems in schools.

However, Fight The Good Fight is a faith-fueled organization, whose values are intertwined with Christ’s teachings. A study of the Bible suggests a call for Christians to care about substance use and abuse. Throughout the history of humanity, the Lord has kept compassion for those trapped in sin. This means that, even in the depths and destruction of addiction, no one should be given up on.

This contrasts to quick-judgments within the Christian church, where substance abuse is often viewed as a moral failure. By embracing God’s compassionate desire to break the cycle of addiction, these communities could become a powerful source of support for adolescents struggling with substance use.

Fight The Good Fight will not shy away from reaching into Christian schools, churches, or other faith-based entities in order to achieve its mission. In these settings, congregation members will be invited to consider God’s heart for social issues surrounding the cycle of substance abuse, and encouraged to come alongside their community in fighting the good fight.
