The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

Students hear many opinions about Jesus but may never have sat with his own words. I Am walks through seven signs in John that answer hunger, darkness, belonging, fear, grief, direction, and growth.

Each week students collect an I AM Card and complete the sentence, “Jesus, you are my ___ when ___,” building a personal picture of who Jesus is to them.
