Jesus Year RESOURCES

Here you’ll find  small group guides designed to help you meet students right where they are. We’ve also included a Leader Log Form where you can submit prayer requests, note follow-ups, or share any concerns that arise in your group.
Everything here is designed to equip you to walk with students as they walk with Jesus.

SMALL GROUP GUIDE

Our small group discussions follow a simple rhythm designed to help us move from understanding Scripture to living it out.
Head  (What do I see?)
We start by looking at the passage and the message. This helps us understand what the Bible is actually saying before we jump to opinions or application.
Heart  (What does this mean for me?)
Next, we reflect on how God’s Word connects to our lives. This is about honesty—what stood out, what challenged us, and what we’re feeling or wrestling with.
Hands  (How do I respond?)
Finally, we talk about action. Faith isn’t just something we think or feel—it’s something we live. This step helps us consider what trusting Jesus looks like in real life this week.
The goal isn’t to have the “right” answers—it’s to listen, reflect, and take a step toward following Jesus together.
HEAD (What do I see?)
In John 1:29–34, what does John actually do when he sees Jesus, and what reasons does he give for being so confident? What stands out to you about his certainty?


In James 2:14–17, what problem is James calling out? What does he say is “useless” or “dead,” and why is that so strong?


HEART (What does this mean for me?)
Where do you feel the biggest gap between your words and your actions right now? What kinds of moments make it easiest for you to drift?


If someone watched your life this week at school, online, at practice, and at home, what story would they assume your faith is telling? Would that match what you say you believe?


HANDS (How do I respond?)
Which of the three challenges from tonight do you most need to start with this week: meet a real need, call out the good you see, or share your one-minute story? What’s one specific situation where you can do it?


What’s one choice you can make in the next 24 hours that would make your faith visible in a normal, everyday way? Who might notice, and how can we pray for you about it?
