The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

Summer should feel like a break, yet phones, jobs, sports, and busy schedules often fill it too. Unplugged teaches rest as a gift and an act of trust rather than laziness.

Every gathering can happen indoors, outdoors, at camp, or on retreat. Students try quiet, notice God in creation, and complete a My Unplugged Rhythm card they can take home.

Series foundationGenesis 2, Exodus 20, Psalms 131 and 104, and Daniel 6
