RHYTHM: A 4-Week Series from 1 & 2 Corinthians on Spiritual Growth.
SERIES OVERVIEW:
For a lot of us, music is a central part of our lives. In the car, at school, or walking through a store, music gives us a steady rhythm that plays in the background. But the predictable beats and patterns of our favorite songs can do more than just entertain or inspire us — they can teach us something about growing closer to Jesus, too. While growing in our faith can sometimes feel difficult to measure, the right rhythms can help us keep moving in the right direction. In this four-week series, we'll explore passages of Scripture from the Gospels, epistles, and Psalms that help us develop spiritual rhythms that help us grow. Together, we'll be challenged to create more predictable patterns in four key ways: by creating rhythms for spending time with God, using our gifts, sharing our stories, and spending time with others.
Please help me in encouraging your students to do these devotionals. They can do them on their phone and they don't take long. You can do it with them too :)
Everyone has experienced them. Everyone knows how it feels to be on the receiving end of their special brand of attention. Of course, we’re talking about mean people. No one is safe from their meanness, especially not teenagers. For so many reasons, mean people are a part of our teenagers’ lives. And the biggest thing about mean people is that very rarely does one do anything to deserve their wrath. How should teenagers act in the face of the mean people who Inhabit their worlds? Good thing Jesus had a lot to say about this.
Jesus and Mean People will help you teach your students that when people are mean to us for no reason, we should see it as a blessing, not a bad situation; that they’re called to treat mean people with grace, and in so doing, identify themselves with God; that they are to have courage when facing mean people because the Holy Spirit is with them, always; and that Jesus modeled how we’re to treat the meanest the mean of people in our lives.
Jesus and Mean People will help equip students to deal with the mean people in their lives with a Christ-like response.

I know “screen time” has a pretty bad reputation, but our phones and devices aren’t going away anytime soon. We can either fight to keep technology out of our kids’ hands, or we can try to reframe technology to make it helpful instead of just a distraction. What if we could help our kids use their devices to grow in their faith? With a little intentionality, technology can be a tool to practice the four spiritual habits:
This book combines in-depth interviews with data from 1,200 diverse teenagers. Kara Powell and Brad M.

When I first began mountain biking, I quickly found it was not like the type of bike riding I did when I was a kid. It's not "jump on the bike and ride all day." It's much different! There are so many moving parts like front and back sprockets, brake levers, and multiple shifting systems. Add to this the extreme terrain, and it gets very confusing.
Today, I own most of the gear that is "required" for the sport. Basically, I have everything needed except for...the needed skills and the personal coaching.
On a recent ride I began to think about how little I know about this sport. I really need a coach/mentor. I have so many technical questions. I'm not always sure when is the best time to shift on different slopes. I have front shocks that need to be adjusted based on the terrain and I don't have the slightest idea what to do. My list of "how to" questions could fill pages.
As I was riding and thinking about my need for a mountain bike coach/mentor, I began to think about the teenagers in our homes and the process of faith development. What are we doing with all their questions about following Christ? Do we even know the questions they're asking (or not asking)? Or, do we assume they'll catch everything about Jesus as they begin their "ride with him"?
Much like I need a riding coach, teenagers need a "Jesus coach." While mountain biking is much more complex than "jump on a bike"...so following Jesus is much more complex than a simple "go to church."
Could it be that we, as parents, have become good at getting kids involved at church...but we're not so good at coaching them on how to walk with Jesus? I fear that if they don't know how to walk with Jesus, when they graduate from high school and go on to college and their adult lives, they will also graduate away from church and perhaps even Jesus.
Some questions: (1) Do your kids know that you want to coach them in the ways of Jesus? (2) Do they know they can ask simple questions and have a confidence that you will care enough not to laugh at their questions? (3) Do they know that in you, they have someone to "ride with" even though they struggle and occasionally fall?
Jesus spent most of his time with the few, pouring into their lives. I'd like to suggest that your "few" are living within the walls of your home. They don't need to be told to "go to church," they need you: a coaching, listening, loving, and caring you.
