The Break Trail Experience

About this resource

The Break Trail Experience: a Discipleship Tool for Youth Ministry SPIRITUAL HABIT: Spend Time with God AGE GROUP: Students TEACHING SERIES: Get the teaching series The Break Trail that goes along with this activity here ! This activity is designed to help teenagers practice the spiritual habit of spending time with God. Because if we want to grow spiritually, we need to spend time growing in relationship with God through personal times of prayer, reading Scripture, reflection, and worship. The Break Trail Experience is a powerful, interactive journey through ten stations that immerses teenagers in the moments leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection. Similar to the traditional Stations of the Cross, this experience invites students to reflect on Jesus' sacrifice and the hope of Easter. Each station provides a tangible reminder of what Jesus endured-from the Last Supper to the empty tomb. Whether as a guided walk or an open reflection space, and whether as a companion activity during the season of Lent or at any time during the year, The Break Trail Experience helps students engage with the story of Jesus in a personal and meaningful way by offering space for prayer, reflection, and conversation. All our discipleship activities are built to be flexible! You can use this activity in a variety of ways with just a little bit of modification, but here's how we recommend using this one: use this activity one day at a special event at church.
