New-Seminarian

Hello all, I am a new seminarian who works with youth at my home church (PCUSA). Our youth director is organizationally excellent but, the more I get to know her, the more concerned I am that she is rooted in a narrow, conservative, dogmatic view of Biblical interpretation. Frequently in large group presentations or Bible study with youth she either evades questions or answers them in ways that are troubling to me (example: Adam and Eve are real people, the Red Sea was an ocean that actually parted, etc.). Later, when we split into smaller groups, I am faced with answering follow-up questions from my inquisitive sophomore small-group. Leadership in my small group is shared with another leader who is close to the youth director. Also, Youth director is esteemed in my church and our senior pastor, who hired her, does not seem concerned that she is passing on a very limited (incorrect) interpretation (our gay teens, for example, are taught to stay celibate). Senior pastor didn't even really want to talk to me about it (suggested prayer as a good remedy). This is the church that will be ordaining me & I have been a member for a long time so... Not sure how to proceed. I would like to offer more accurate interpretation (even a bit of exegesis or at least good commentary). I am allowed to choose the book we use for Bible study in my small group (new book would begin in the fall of 2015). Thoughts about responding to youth questions? Suggestions for a good book to use with teens anyone? Thanks! -New-Seminarian
