Youth

From family to classmates to neighbors to social media, you have the ability to affect those around you. You have influence, and what you do with that influence matters. In this four-week series, you'll be challenged to pay attention to the "butterfly effect" that you have on others and be encouraged for that to be shaped by the effect Jesus wants you to have in the lives of others.

Influence

Armor of God is the final plan of this four-part series designed to provide an overview of spiritual warfare and its impact on our lives. The series dives into topics like the spiritual realm (heaven and earth), spiritual beings (like angels, demons, and Satan), spiritual warfare (the what and how of it), and finally, the Armor of God (how we stand against the devil's schemes). In part four, we unpack what the Armor of God is and how it helps us stand against the enemy's schemes.

As followers of Christ, one of the most powerful things we can do is develop spiritual disciplines. Spiritual disciplines are the habits and practices that help us become like Jesus. This Plan is all about fasting and abstinence—two disciplines that help us say no to our desires so we can say yes to following Jesus.

No matter your age, experiences, or place in life, God has a purpose custom designed just for you.  Have you discovered your purpose, or are you comparing yourself to others, wondering how God can use your talents, skills, and experiences for good?  Forget FOMO.  This reading plan is about FOWOT.  Fear of what others think.  Be challenged to overcome insecurity and self-doubt and, instead, passionately pursue purpose.
