Encouraging and challenging kids in their personal walk with Jesus through
curriculum driven discussions from the book This Changes Everything-How the
Gospel Transforms the Teen Years. We will talk through what it looks like to be a
Jesus follower right now, and how to live a joy-fueled, obedience filled, Christ
exalting life. Topics include: our identity, our story, our community, our sin, our
disciplines, our growth, our time, our relationships.
