About this resource

Everything you need for an entire year of discipling teenagers! Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. That's why the Student Discipleship Bundle gives you four activities to help teenagers practice building core spiritual habits: spending time with God, spending time with others, using their gifts, and sharing their story. Each activity gives teenagers fun, practical ways to explore their relationships with God, themselves, and others! Looking for kids resources? Check out our Kids Discipleship Bundle! RESOURCES INCLUDED: THE RUN/REST SOCIAL MEDIA DEVOTIONALS Spiritual Habit: Spend time with God In this activity, students will work through a series of 40 social media devotionals designed to help them go deeper in their personal connection with God. While perfect for the 40 days leading up to Easter, these devotionals can be used anytime of the year - and can also be printed, texted, taught from, or used to create short teaching videos. We recommend using this activity on social media to challenge your students for 40 days. THE TABLE TALK CHALLENGE Spiritual Habit: Spend time with others In this activity, students will receive a deck of conversation-starter cards and take on the challenge of initiating conversations with others - especially people who are different from them, either at school or at church. Some cards are fun and lighthearted, while others are more strategic, and volunteers can use them to spark conversation in small groups too. We recommend using this activity to help students build or deepen relationships with friends throughout the quarter. GO BID OR GO HOME YOUTH AUCTION Spiritual Habit: Use your gifts In this one-night event, students will request donations from local businesses and people connected to your church and auction them off to raise money for a cause they care about. This event connects students to their community and the world around them while creating a fun opportunity for them to get involved with something that matters. We recommend working with your students to choose a cause, raise funds, plan the event, and execute it together. THE FOLLOW CHALLENGE Spiritual Habit: Share your story In this activity, students will work through a series of social media challenges over the course of days or weeks to help them learn about sharing their stories, listen to the stories of others, and then share their own stories with someone else. Ideas for adapting it as an in-person challenge are also included. We recommend using this activity on your social media feeds to engage and challenge students over the course of days or weeks.
