    About this ebook

    Having the right person in a young person’s life can make a huge difference. Jesus knew that, so he spent time with his young disciples, talking with them,listening to them, having fun with them— being with them in everyday life.Imagine students in your ministry having wise, caring mentors in their lives. They can! Jesus’ model of how to transform lives is needed today more than ever before. This generation needs to discover how real faith plays out in the real world.Six important, thought-provoking sessions help junior high and high school students consider how God shows he is real, what he really wants from his followers, what his purposes are for their lives, why it matters what theybelieve, how he keeps them strong when life is hard, and the kind of people he wants in their lives.This student guide is supported by coaching and leader’s notes in the book The Be-With Factor, but it can also be used alone. These questions help you initiate some of the most rewarding and genuinely lifechanging moments you and a student will ever experience.
