3rd topic: Deviance and Defiance 
You can discuss about anything you want connected to one of those three topics.

With all of this talk about death, how do we “choose life?” Deuteronomy 30:20 answers this with “love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. For the Lord is your life, and He will give you many years in the land He swore to give to your fathers.” There are no such things as good and bad chemicals, only good and bad people. It is our choice. How do we apply loving, listening, and holding fast to God when making choices in the use of chemicals in our bodies or in the environment?
