Youth

In this 20-day high school devotional, you’ll be taking a look at one of the most powerful ways Jesus taught life-changing truths: stories. You’ll go through Jesus’ parables and learn how to make these concepts real in your life. 

The Storyteller

Lent is where we walk with Jesus for 40 days. We are going to look at the Beatitudes of Jesus. These are sayings from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. We live in a world filled with uncertainty, fear and anxiety. The beatitudes invite us to live in a new way in this world of ours. Together, we are going to explore new ways to live life.


The Road Less Traveled - a Lent Journey for Teens

We all know God wants us to love others—it’s one of the most important things Jesus taught. But let’s be honest… actually doing it? That’s not always easy, especially when life feels busy or like people aren’t easy to love. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we’ll explore how Jesus shows us what loving others really looks like. We'll learn that he challenges us to move away from the world’s “me first” attitude and embrace his “after you” message as we follow his example.

After You

Have you ever stood in awe of a natural wonder—a pristine glacier, a golden sunset, or vast ocean—and been amazed by its beauty? These remind us of the incredible God who created everything. So, what would it look like to live every day in awe of our Creator? For the next 28 days, we’ll explore what it means to worship—not just with songs or prayers, but with the way we live. Our lives are shaped by our response to the wonder of who God is, and we’ll see when we worship, we get to know God more.

Wonder

Some topics feel really complicated. One of those for many high schoolers is suicidal thoughts. In this one-week devotional, we’ll elevate the conversation about suicide by looking at an option we all have when facing dark and difficult thoughts: choosing hope today and life tomorrow.

Elevate: A Conversation on Suicide

This Lent plan invites you to face that which you so easily avoid - your humanity, your brokenness, your sadness and disappointments. 
For the next 40 days, we will embark on an adventure filled with some alone time, prayer and fasting. 

Each day will provide a scripture, a guide, an exercise and a grace prayer which you can pray throughout your day.
