As teenagers, there are so many emotions experienced on a daily basis. Discovering how to handle all of them can be a challenge. If you feel feelings—any feelings at all—then this plan is for you. 

How To Be Happy

As life unfolds, the hurts, losses, failures, and fears that we endure might leave us feeling like we’re struggling to stay above water. Over the next five days, we will look at some of the questions that arise when we wonder if we’re drowning. We’ll also explore what it looks like to place our trust in God and maintain hope for the future as we navigate the depths of faith.

What if I’m Wrong?: Navigating the Waves of Fear and Failure

“Always we begin again.”  –St. Benedict   Do you ever feel stuck, restless, or cornered in your own life? It’s easy to shut down in those moments. Or, you can learn to begin again. To begin again is to open the window, even an inch, to let the breeze of grace come in. It is a call to open our hands when all we want to do is clench our fists. May this week-long devotional help you trade your trying for trust and your striving for surrender. 


Begin Again: A 7-Day Devotional By Leeana Tankersley

This 4-day plan weaves Scripture together with C. S. Lewis’s own words to show how the redemptive work of Christ led Lewis to embrace his own vocation as a means of telling redemptive stories. As we will see modeled in the life of Lewis, the gospel changes everything about our work, from our motivations for work, to what we create, to how we work each day.

C.S. Lewis And The Call To Create

The world defines joy as the intense happiness we feel when we satisfy a great desire. C. S. Lewis disagrees: true joy is an unsatisfied desire ─ a deep longing for God that never ends. Featuring Lewis quotes and excerpts from Shadowlands and Songs of Light: An Epic Journey into Joy and Healing by author Kevin Ott.

C. S. Lewis & Joy

We’ve all been crippled by failure, hurt, disappointment, loss, or opposition at some time. But Mike Foster shows us that God offers every one of us a second chance through his love. The feelings of insecurity, fear, shame, not measuring up, and judgment. That. Stops. Today. 

People Of The Second Chance

We all have a story to share. YOUR story could help change another person’s life. YOUR unique story could encourage others in powerful ways. Whether it’s in a book or a blog post, YOUR story truly matters. Someone is yearning to hear it. Are you willing to share it? In this 5-day plan, you’ll read scripture and be encouraged in practical ways to share YOUR story for God’s glory!

Your Story For God's Glory

Did you know that we are called to be a peacemaker? Find out how we can live this each and every day in this four-day devotional from Holly Wagner. 

Peacemaker 

What if we don’t have to travel far to get close to people who are distant from God? What if Christians were the best neighbors? Would your street change? Would heaven be fuller? A long time ago, a religious leader asked Jesus how to get into heaven. Jesus answered with a question, then the story of the Good Neighbor. No surprise, 2000 years later Jesus’ story still explains how to neighbor. Join Pastor Craig Groeschel and Life.Church in a practical, story-filled guide to meeting your neighbors and loving them as yourself. But don’t just read it—live it!
