by Tim Chester, Katy Morgan, Jason Ramasami (Illustrator)

Overview

What is it actually like to live with Jesus at the center of your life? 

This 12-session youth discipleship course covers all the basics of what it means to be a Christian. It also explores what living your life with Jesus in charge actually looks like and why it’s “life to the full”.

• an activity or game. 
• a reflection/prayer idea.
