Uncommon High School Group Study: Prayer & the Devotional Life

Teens today are busier than any previous generation in history. Between soccer practice, study groups, music lessons, dance or karate class, constant texting and social networking, and occasional schoolwork, it’s amazing kids have time to breathe, much less connect with God in a meaningful way. Yet without daily one-on-one time with their heavenly Father, spiritual growth is stunted.
Now youth leaders can help the teens in their group prioritize prayer and quiet time. Uncommon: Prayer and the Devotional Life, part of a series of high school group studies and resources developed by youth ministry veteran Jim Burns, gives leaders a roadmap for guiding their group toward daily connection with God. Using these action-packed, fun activities and insightful tips for deepening dialog, youth pastors will have their teens sharing the ups and downs of their spiritual lives in no time.
