11.10.26 | Small Group Bible Studies & Pictures of God's Grace

The other day, I was searching through my phone for a picture to put on a new business card when I ran across old photos and videos from years of ministry. Seeing those faces (from middle schoolers who are now in college to homeschool co-ops across the country) reminded me of a simple truth: if we don't disciple our kids, the world will.

In this update, I am sharing some heart-warming memories and walking you through our new, completely free small group Bible study resources designed to help parents, youth leaders, and students connect faith with real life.

Watch now, share this video with a friend or ministry leader, and discuss with your family: what opportunities is God putting right in front of you today?

This week's Proclaim PULSE summary (no Lesson or Story):

Praise | God's Grace & Ministry Opportunities: Thanking God for decades of opportunities to reach kids, the strong partnership with VC Family Church, and the encouraging reminder of past impact when seeing former students grown up and still walking in faith.

Update | Free Small Group Bible Studies: Highlighting brand new, free small group Bible studies and leader trainings available at Bible Studies, including an Advent series, 31 Days of Wisdom, Saved by Grace, and youth ministry tools.

Engage | Build Community & Share: Challenging you to create a group, join a group, or share these free resources with someone else to help kids, teens, and adults connect faith with everyday life.
