The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

The 40-Day Lenten Challenge brings formation into the days between youth gatherings. Students receive one Scripture image each day, reflect on a focused question, and respond with a thought—or simply with 'Amen' to mark that they were present.

The journey moves through repentance, Christlike living, strength in trials, forgiveness, love, Holy Week, and resurrection. It can be led through a group chat, social channel, church app, printed cards, or a combination of those spaces.

Series foundationForty selected passages from Hosea, the Psalms, the Gospels, and the Epistles
