The Table Talk Challenge: a Discipleship Tool for Youth Ministry SPIRITUAL HABIT: Spend Time with Others AGE GROUP: Students This activity is designed to help teenagers practice the spiritual habit of spending time with others. Because if we want to grow spiritually, we need to be engaged in healthy community and godly relationships with others-with people who share our beliefs, as well as with people who don't. With teenagers, we're convinced the spiritual habit of Spending Time with Others is most important to cover at the beginning of every school year. It's the time of year when students are building new friendships, joining new classes, teams, clubs, and activities, and beginning a new year with their small groups. So for this activity, you'll create a deck of conversation-starter cards , and students will use them to take on the challenge of initiating conversations with others - especially people who are different from them, either at school or at church. Plus, your volunteers can use them to spark conversation in small groups too! Some of the conversation-starters will be fun, while others will be more strategic, and the cards can be used in a few different (and fun) ways to start conversations. 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 to help students build or deepen relationships with friends all quarter long.
