The phone conversation you’ve been avoiding — finally written for middle schoolers.
Five sessions. One reordered relationship with the screen in their pocket. Includes parent partnership, a phone-free meeting, and a take-home 21-day challenge.
The 5-lesson arc
- The Pull — Where you point your attention is the direction you walk.
- Tool or Master — Anything you can’t put down is no longer a tool.
- The Mirror That Lies — The feed is not a mirror — it’s a market.
- Trail Sabbath — Rest is a spiritual practice, not a productivity hack.
- Walking Together — We can’t do this alone, and we weren’t meant to.
What’s included
For the leader: Leader Guide with prep, materials, “Looking for…” answer hints, theological notes, and phone-collection logistics. Plus Quick-Start, Master Materials List, 5-Week Scope & Sequence, and a pre-written parent-reminder email for the phone-free meeting.
For the student: Student Workbook with journaling lines, an Identity Tag activity, a Sabbath Pledge, and the take-home 21-Day Trail Experiment card. Each student finishes with a Certificate of Completion.
For the family: Parent Letter introduces the program. Family Trail Covenant is sent home with the student in Lesson 5 to fill out with a parent — phone-free zones, phone-free times, what happens when either breaks it. Parents are partners, not bystanders.
What makes it different
Not an anti-phone rant. Theologically anchored (Trinitarian, evangelical). Survivor-aware (cyberbullying, predatory DMs, image exposure all addressed in Leader Notes). Reproducible: print as many Student Workbooks as your ministry needs, forever, under one license. Read our full Statement of Faith at DiviNav.com/what-we-believe. Scripture throughout is the Berean Standard Bible (public domain).

A one-time license — not a subscription. Unlimited reproduction within your ministry, in perpetuity. Includes every file: leader guide, student workbook, parent letter, certificate, and more.
One local church or independent youth ministry.
Up to five campuses, congregations, or partner ministries.
