About this resource

The Distinct Challenge: a Discipleship Tool for Youth Ministry SPIRITUAL HABIT: Use Your Gifts AGE GROUP: Students TEACHING SERIES: Get the teaching series Distinct that goes along with this activity here ! This activity is designed to help teenagers practice the spiritual habit of using your gifts. Because if we want to grow spiritually, we need to understand how God uniquely made us and then use those unique qualities to love God, love others, and impact the world around us. The Distinct Challenge is part scribble journal, part workbook, all designed to help kids reflect, respond, and recognize what makes them, well... distinct! This interactive journal invites students to explore their distinctiveness through thoughtful prompts, doodle spaces, and creative questions that highlight the unique ways God has gifted them. Whether used individually or in a small group, this tool sparks self-discovery and spiritual reflection. It pairs perfectly with the Distinct teaching series, but it also works beautifully as a stand-alone experience. As you roll out this challenge, ask students if they'd want to share snapshots, excerpts, or video testimonials on social media to celebrate the journey and keep the conversation going. 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 anytime at home or in small groups all quarter long.
