Groove: The Life Leader Guide
()
About this ebook
The life of the Christian is marked by disciplines, practices, and commitments that help shape the foundation of our faith. So how do we help youth encounter and choose to embrace some of these practices as they move into a faith that they claim as their own?
The Life is a four-week study designed to help youth consider spiritual practices and what those practices can mean in their lives. Each week, they will consider the practices of being committed to a church family, of prayer, of giving, and of sharing their faith with others. The ideas and lessons are reinforced with exercises and daily devotions, found in the Groove: The Life Student Journal, designed to help them reflect and apply these disciplines in their own lives.
The Groove Bible study series invites teens to learn the essentials of their faith, own their story, and engage the world in serving Jesus. Each topical study consists of four weekly sessions that are easy to lead and relate to life issues teens face. With up to 48 weeks available, Groove is great for Sunday and mid-week gatherings for both large and small groups as well as retreats. The leader guide contains everything needed to lead teens through a Groove study, including teaching outlines, leader notes, Bible background, reflections, and parent communication.

About the Groove Student Journal
The Groove Student Journal has a singular purpose: to provide an easy-to-use tool for your teens and to help them reflect deeply and process what they are learning and how they are growing both during youth gatherings and beyond.
The journal for each week includes fill-in-the-blank activities and questions for the Talk Up and Wrap Up portions of the lesson. In addition, there are discussion prompts for small groups.
While what happens in your youth gatherings is incredibly valuable, most spiritual formation in teenagers takes place outside of your youth gathering. It is in the classroom, with friends, at practice, walking to class, with family, when making decisions, or in the quiet moments alone where deep consideration of faith commitments
