If someone asked you to tell them who Jesus was and what His mission on Earth was, what would you say? The answers to these questions have an eternal significance. John knew that, and that’s why he wrote his account of Jesus’ life. This four-week devotional will help you reflect on the purpose behind Jesus’ life, ministry, miracles, teachings, and divine claims. John: The Way, The Truth, The Life will come alongside this disciple of Jesus to help illuminate the truth that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. By reading and praying through the Gospel of John, you will have the opportunity to learn what Jesus came to do, why He came to do it, and how He calls us to live as His followers. John goes to great lengths to show us that the only place we can find true, everlasting life is in the Light of the world, the Lamb of God, the Good Shepherd, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Have you ever struggled to know what God wanted you to do in any given situation? Whether you’ve just given your life to Jesus or you’ve been following Him for years, living like He wants us to isn’t always as clear or easy as we’d like it to be. This four-week devotional will confront this very problem. James: The Walk of Faith will take on one of the biggest questions that all believers ask every day, “How should my faith in Jesus change the way I deal with ______?” Whether it’s sin & temptation, trials, wisdom, speech, money & possessions, time, or just the people around us, Jesus has a plan for how we should walk with Him. Our faith in Him, over time, should move us to live and look more like Him day after day. A relationship with Jesus is a lifelong journey, and in his short letter, James shows us how Jesus’ life and teachings should forever change the way we walk with Him through our lives.

Do you ever find that it can be lonely living as a believer? For thousands of years, God’s people have had to balance living out their faith while being surrounded by those who do not follow God. Sometimes, they may even live among people who are hostile toward God’s people. This four-week devotional is meant to address this very feeling. In Esther: The Time is Now, you will spend time getting to know a cast of people, including Esther and Mordecai. As Jewish people in the Persian Kingdom, they deal with what it means to be God’s people in the midst of a culture that does not honor or worship God. We are continually faced with the same question that Mordecai asked Esther: What if you are meant for a time such as this? The answer is that we are made for such a time. And the time? The Time is Now.

I Can Only Imagine: A 4-Week Devotional for Students is inspired by the film I Can Only Imagine and developed by the team at YM360.

In True Feelings: God's Gracious and Glorious Purpose for Our Emotions, a mother-daughter team clears away common misconceptions and mixed messages about our feelings to offer us a biblical perspective on emotions— helping us understand how they work, why we feel what we feel, and how to develop good emotional habits.

Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom From Shame invites us to not only be healed of our own shame but also be a part of healing for others. Through the gospel, we discover the only real and lasting antidote to shame: exchanging our shame for the righteousness of Christ alongside others on this same journey.

Beautiful Rebellion, a book that cuts past unhelpful stereotypes and shows today’s teens that they are uniquely primed to use their whole selves—faith, skepticism, intellectualism, humor, big questions, and all—to bring about a world-changing movement empowered and driven by God’s love.

What if your students’ single life or dating world wasn’t at the mercy of their latest crush “crushing back” but was incredibly meaningful and life-giving on its own? What if they became the kind of friend who could inspire real meaning in their friend circle? What if they knew how to be especially and appropriately thoughtful in letting their special someone feel like a special someone? What if they had a genuine understanding of the freedom God gives them when they trust Him in all of these things, whether their relationship status changes or not? 

There’s a lot of advice floating around on all of this, right? Every one of your students probably already has a set of answers for all the questions about what it means to be single, dating, a friend, or romantic. But whether those conclusions were inherited from others around them, movies they watch, celebrities they follow, church messages, or personal experiences, there’s so much more room to let God reset them with new questions that can get them to healthier places. 

In SINGLE, DATING, FRIENDSHIPS, & ROMANCE, your students will discover the genius wisdom and unconditional love of God through a lot of laughter, interaction, honesty, and opportunities to reflect. Maybe they’ll even consider trading in whatever “answers” they’ve been living with for something healthier as they learn what it looks like to ask some new questions and operate out of a life-long relationship with Jesus. Throughout it all, your students will discover that they’re worth it, and so is what they’re fighting for!
