4 week study helping students pursue Jesus by better means than shame and behavior modification.
$60.00
Most teenagers struggle in their faith because their hearts feel crowded. There’s real desire to follow Jesus, mixed with real sin, distractions, wounds, habits, and pressure. Crowded meets students in that tension and walks them through what gospel transformation actually looks like when faith feels messy and inconsistent.
Rather than pushing behavior modification or guilt-driven spirituality, Crowded shows students how pursuing Jesus—through creation, relationship, Scripture, and grace—slowly but powerfully reshapes a crowded heart from the inside out.
Week 1 – You Can Know the Creator Through Creation (Romans 1:19–20)
Students explore why their spiritual lives feel crowded and conflicted. Through Paul’s teaching in Romans, they learn that God has made Himself obvious through creation—and that slowing down and paying attention can open unexpected pathways to knowing Him, even when faith feels messy.
Week 2 – Pursue More of the One You’re Living For (Romans 6:5–6, 10–11)
Using the metaphor of weeds and grass, students discover that freedom doesn’t come from obsessing over sin, but from crowding it out by aggressively pursuing Jesus. Transformation happens not by pulling weeds harder, but by sowing more life.
Week 3 – The Word Leads to Life and Peace Through the Spirit (Romans 8:1–2, 5–6)
Students learn that life and peace come from letting the Holy Spirit shape what they dwell on. Scripture becomes less about “doing the right thing” and more about building a foundation that filters thoughts, decisions, and identity through God’s truth.
Week 4 – Freedom Is Faith in the Midst of Failure (Romans 8:33–34)
As the series closes, students confront the up-and-down reality of following Jesus. They’re reminded that grace—not guilt, fear, or grit—is what keeps us going. Even when they slide backward, their identity in Christ remains secure.
