Help your middle schoolers build a working compass for following Jesus.
A complete twelve-week discipleship program — designed for the age window where most kids quietly leave the faith, and built for the volunteer leader you actually have on Sunday night. Thirty minutes a lesson, hands-on and screen-free, built around the DiviNav compass: Jesus is True North, the Bible is the Map, the Spirit is the Trail Companion, and the Church is the Tribe walking with you.
The 12-lesson arc
- True North — Who is Jesus? He is the unique way to the Father.
- The Map — The Bible is God-breathed and trustworthy.
- The Maker — Who is God? Creator, and personal.
- Lost & Found — Sin is real, and grace is a gift.
- Beloved — Our identity in Christ: children of God, not what we do.
- The Voice — Hearing God: he speaks, and we can learn his voice.
- Talking Back — Prayer is relational, not transactional.
- The Trail Companion — The Holy Spirit empowers us and produces fruit.
- Tribe — The Church is essential, not optional.
- Storms & Switchbacks — God works through trials and perseverance.
- Shine — We’re called to share our faith, with gentleness and respect.
- The Send — The Christian life is sent, not stationary.
