Groove: The Walk Student Journal

What does it look like to “walk with Jesus”? Like a great deal of
church jargon we toss around, it can become a confusing concept for
teens to embrace and understand.


The Walk is designed to teach youth what it means to walk with
Jesus. As their faith grows, they will learn to exercise the grace,
love, patience, humility, and meekness found only in Christ. As a
result, they will begin to own their faith, as it moves from something
that they hear about to something that they are living in their own
lives.



The daily devotions of the Groove: The Walk Student Journal will encourage youth to embrace these concepts and experience a rich and fulfilled life as they learn to imitate Christ in their daily lives.

The Groove Bible study series invites teens to learn the
essentials of their faith, own their story, and engage the world in
serving Jesus. Each topical study consists of four weekly sessions that
are easy to lead and relate to life issues teens face. With up to 48
weeks available, Groove is great for Sunday and mid-week gatherings for
both large and small groups as well as retreats. The student journal contains session-specific questions, background information, and daily devotions for each session.
