The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

Fresh Start moves students beyond the pressure of “new year, new me.” It begins with mercy that is new every morning, then helps students name who they are becoming and build one small daily rhythm that can last.

The final week gives students a grace-filled plan for returning when they fall off. Use it in January, after a retreat, or whenever your group needs a hopeful reset without another resolutions talk.

Questions leaders ask

Before you bring it to your team

Can our volunteers use the files?

Yes. The resource covers staff and volunteers serving within one local church or ministry organization.

Will this work for a smaller group?

Yes. The activity menus and discussion prompts can be adapted for a handful of students or a larger room.

Do I need special supplies?

Most sessions use ordinary youth-room supplies. The leader guide flags materials and setup before each activity.

How do I receive the files?

After purchase, the commerce provider delivers the digital files automatically to the email used at checkout.
